Grades

School reports are issued quarterly. Students receive grades for each subject. Student performance is quantified on one of two 4-point scales. The content standards scale assesses students against established curriculum documents such as the Common Core Curriculum for the States. The General Learning Outcomes scale assesses students against four groups of key skills which the school has identified. These scales differ from a traditional "letter grades" scale which has 5-points.

Reporting Standards
Instead of receiving one grade for one class, students' receive as many as 8 different grades per class. The individual grades will be lifted from the curriculum standards for the relevant class. Giving multiple grades in each class is meant to better communicate what a student can or cannot do. Students are also given grades based on their performance on the General Learning Outcomes (GLO's). The GLO's scale is a 4-point scale like the content standards scale, but the descriptions for each level are different.

Precedents
Public schools in the state of Kentucky use a very similar reports system. Students in Kentucky schools also receive multiple grades per class, based on standards from shared curriculum documents. The Kentucky reports also include grades for "process" criteria which are treated to the GLO's.
