Is the standard stated anywhere on their website?
They need to get 3s and 4s on their progress reports (including behavior$ and pass their SOLs. The higher award is those that Pass Advanced.
Pass advanced all years or just 6th?
6th grade isn’t even considered. It’s 4th and 5th.

There were 200 6th graders in my kid's school.. Those who did not get the Excellence award got the achievement award.

At our school achievement is for kids who do well but not necessarily pass advanced or kids who made a lot of growth.

Excellence requires some sort of “pass advance” on sol.
Most get the Achievement award. Far fewer kids receive the Excellence award.

DS told me the achievement used to be called improvement.
Excellence is the higher award.

What are the objective measures for these? I didn’t quite catch the explanation at ES graduation.
