The movement to a standards-based report card is progressing. It has been decided that a numerical grade ranging from a 1 to a 4 will be utilized at the primary level (grades K-3) while a percentage-based grade will continue to be utilized in grades 4-12. It is our goal for the final report card product that the specific standards that composed the majority of the reading and math grades and the student attainment levels of those standards be listed below the reading and math grades.

I was under the impression that the use of a "numerical grade" COULD be converted to a percentage, for example a 4.0 would be 100%, while a 3.5 would be a 95% and so forth.
ReplyDeleteNumerical grades can be converted to percentage grades. The standards-based report card committee is moving forward on a report card that keeps the percentage grade for grades 4-6 but uses a numerical grade for grades K-3. The A, B, C or D in grades K-3 would simply be replaced with a 4, 3, 2 or 1. A 4 would equate with the A range and a 1 would equate to the D range. Yes, a conversion for numerical grades to percentage grades does exist, but it is not needed in our new template given that grades 4-12 will remain a percentage-based grade and K-3 will simply have letters replaced with numbers.
