An A in second grade is the same as a P in grades K-1. Different scale from secondary school.

My second grader hasn't brought home any graded work or assignments.

That’s not good—you should ask the teacher exactly what she’s looking for in writing and whatever other category that is confusing.


+1 - if your kid is getting bad grades, it's gotta be the teacher's fault

Ok, thanks. Now I see what you mean. I thought A means 4.0 to calculate GPA, lol. It mentions here that HS starts GPA calculation, does that mean any grades in ES and MS do not matter at all for college application as long as kids pass classes?


There are some MS classes that are HS-credit classes. These are generally any language class, math classes beginning with algebra (so basically anything over pre-algebra), and tech credit classes (intro to engineering design, etc.). These are listed on the HS transcript, but they only are included in GPA if they help. Otherwise, MS classes do not appear on HS transcript and do not count toward GPA, and no ES class does so.

Yes, but a few MS classes are high school credit, so those do matter

You should definitely start the child’s essay now for their applications.

Every grade counts for college. Better start now. That B+ in 2nd grade Math is going to kill Larla’s chance at Harvard….

Wow a GPA for a second grader? I’m glad there isn’t one.

No, second graders will not have a GPA. That doesn't start until high school classes.

Why does 2nd grade start do A/B/C/D on report cards? Does that mean school start to measure how much 2nd grader learn? Will 2nd grader have GPA? The school tells us that they will do math focus group by grouping 2nd graders of smiliar level together. Will they do the same for reading? Is map test result more important for 2nd grader now?
