The Wappingers Central School District uses standards-based grading. Students are scored according to their ability to demonstrate that they have mastered a particular standard.
Performance at a second grade level scores a 3 out of 4. This indicates that they are meeting the grade level standard.
Students who are approaching grade-level performance will score a 2 or 2.5.
Those performing well below grade level will score a 1 or 1.5.
Students who exhibit thinking or skills above grade level expectations will score a 3.5 or 4.
