This grading system mimics the four standards of English that students must master before they graduate from high school: reading, writing, language, and speaking & listening.
The Goal: This system allows students, parents, teachers, and administrators to clearly identify areas that students struggle or excel in.
For example, if a student has consistently poor grades in writing, there is now an opportunity to assist the student with resources, tutoring, and extra teacher attention to improve those specific skills.
