Q1. What is a “standard”? A1. A standard is a learning goal established by Washington State. Each subject has specific standards or learning expectations.
Q2. Why do we have a standards-based report card? A2. Standards-based grading more accurately indicates your child's academic knowledge and skills in comparison to state learning standards.
Q3. What do the grading symbols of 4-3-2-1 mean? A3. Level of student proficiency 4 = Advanced: Exceeds state standard 3 = Proficient: Meets state standard 2 = Basic: Approaches state standard 1 = Below state standard
Q4. How will I know if my student is meeting or exceeding state standard? A4. A score of a 3 or 4 means your child is on track to meet or exceed the state learning standard.
