Standards Based Grading
Elwood School assesses student performance through Standards-Based Grading. Student work is correlated with the Common Core Standards and it is given a score to communicate how well the student is performing at grade-level. 2nd Grade Scores are as follows:
- 3 - Meets Standards
- Work met the standard and shows on-level understanding
- 2 - Approaching Standards
- Work is approaching the standard and shows some practice is needed.
- 1 - Below Standards
- Work is below standards and more practice is needed.
Should a student receive a score showing more practice is needed, they are encouraged to make corrections with the teacher or their parents.
