[quote=Anonymous]At our K-8, not only do we not get grades until 6th, we only get any kind of feedback (narrative and meets/exceeds expectations, etc.) twice per year rather than quarterly. So unless your child is doing very poorly, you go months without knowing whether you have a child who is basically an A, B, or C student. That felt fine in the lower grades, but doesn’t feel quite right now in 5th. And the narratives are framed to focus on skills rather than content. So things like “Larla is engaged in math class and exhibits a growth mindset” rather than “Larla has mastered multiplying fractions.” They provide a lot of extra information but I feel like I’m coming away with less insight.[/quote]
