Grading
The grading scare at the Scholars' Academy is different than that of a regular school. Instead of "A," "B,"
"C" grades, we use a a 1, 2, 3 to rank student achievement. A "1" is the highest score while a "3" is the
lowest. The grading scale description below is taken directly from the 2012-2013 Staff Handbook. When
you receive your child's progress report or report card, please refer to the guidelines below to familiarize
yourself with the guidelines and expectations of the grading system before requesting a conference.
