Report Cards And Grading Scale

The Christian school student should strive at all times to do the best work possible.  To monitor student progress, a report card will be issued four times during the school year (three times for PreK, K-4 and K-5).  During the first quarter, report cards will be given out at parent/teacher conferences.  The second, third and fourth quarters, the student will bring the report card home.  Report cards will not be released in the event of a past due balance on the student's account.

Report cards record each student’s grades and also personal comments about the student’s achievements, effort, and conduct. 

In addition, mid-term progress reports will be issued in grades 4-8 as deemed necessary by the teachers.  Other notes of progress will be made by all teachers as the need arises.

Marking System                 

PreK, K-4 and K-5

Students will be evaluated in a variety of areas, based on developmental and readiness skills.  The beginning months of PreK, K-4, and K-5 are mainly a time of adjustment to working in a group situation, learning to share materials, taking turns and following teacher direction.  Parents are reminded that learning is developmental; a child masters a skill when he or she is ready.  While certain guidelines have been determined by studying a wide sample of children at this age, undo pressure should be avoided if a child does not appear to be at the exact same place as his or her peers.

Grades 1 -3 — Academic Subjects

                  O     Outstanding – consistently exceeding expectation

                  G     Good – consistently meeting expectation

                  S     Satisfactory – usually meeting expectation

                  N     Needs Improvement – rarely meeting expectation

                  U     Unsatisfactory - not meeting expectation

The marking system for these classes may not be totally based on percentages.

Grade 4-8 — Academic Subjects

                 A              Superior                        90 - 100%

                 B              Above average              80 -  89%

                 C              Average                        70 -  79%

                 D              Below average              60 -  69%

                 F              Failing                           Below 60%

                 I               Incomplete

A grade in the high end of the scale may be noted with "+" after the mark.  A grade in the low end of the scale may be noted with "-" after the mark.

Co-curricular Subjects (Art, Music, Gym, Technology, Conduct & Effort)

                O             Outstanding – consistently exceeding expectation

                G             Good – consistently meeting expectation

                S              Satisfactory – usually meeting expectation

                N              Needs Improvement – rarely meeting expectation

                U              Unsatisfactory – not meeting expectation

Honor Roll

At the end of each grading period an honor roll will be published. There are two honor rolls for students in grades 4—8:

• High Honor Roll - A or A- in the major subject areas and conduct.  Not less than a B or a S in conduct, effort and other subjects.           
• Honor Roll  - A's and B's in the major subject areas. Not less than a S in conduct, effort, and other subjects.
