All 4s on progress report does not indicate advanced learning in any way. 4 means child has learned material in an appropriate timeframe. That would be an expectation for all kids to do this. 4s can also mean child has support, small groups, remediation to learn standards. It doesn’t equate to As or a grade point average. [/quote]

My child was admitted. His report card is mostly 3s, with some 4s, and even some 2s.[/quote]

There is no standard meaning for all 4s on a report card.  My kids have often had mostly 3s on the first quarter report cards, despite getting perfect scores on every assessment.  Then, the scores would magically increase throughout the year and be all 4s in the final report card.  Some teachers like to lowball the 1Q and 2Q grades, so they can "show progress."  [/quote]

This doesn’t seem quite right. Each quarter the progress report categories are reflecting different standards. Each quarter has standard alignments. So each quarter doesn’t necessarily build upon the same standards but completely different standards. Ask your child’s teacher. [/quote]
