Report Card Grading Scale

All report cards (K-5) distributed in CCS follow the format of the Standards-Based Report Card. This grade card is aligned with the CCS curriculum guides which are aligned with the Ohio State Standards.

The KEYS for Levels of Performance in ACHIEVEMENT are as follows:
4 – Advanced; Consistently EXCEEDS required level of performance
3 – Proficient; Consistently MEETS required level of performance
2 – Basic; WORKING TOWARD required level of Performance
1 – Below Basic; Consistently WORKING BELOW required level of performance
*Note that these KEYS of 1-2-3-4 in achievement are NOT to be equated with letter grades of A-B-C-D-F.
A score of a 4 means a student has demonstrated the ability to complete work beyond the required level of performance. (At least one grade level higher).

A score of 3 is a great score. Students are expected to be proficient at their grade level. This is where we want all students to be at a minimum.

A score of 2 does not mean the child is failing. What it does mean is the child has not mastered all of the indicators under the standard and is working toward proficiency in the standard.

A score of 1 could be an indicator that the child is experiencing great difficulty with the standard and should be a reason for concern.
