The Evaluation
System is designed to support the school’s educational
philosophy and success-oriented model of education.
Thus, all students are expected to achieve mastery grades
of “A” or “B”. The school does
not accept mediocre work. Student evaluations, called
“status reports”, are issued five times
each year at the end of each “Quintile”.
However, data is entered in the computer daily and a
parent may request a status report at any time.
• Evaluations written on “Status Reports”
“A”
All essential parts of the unit were mastered at an
appropriately high level. The student consistently demonstrated
noteworthy achievement of a high quality, particularly
in the higher order thinking or performance skills.
“B”
All essential parts of the unit were mastered at an
appropriately high level in which the student successfully
engaged in higher order thinking or performance skills.
“P”
The student is “in progress” in the unit.
(Normal)
“H”
The unit is “on hold” for a legitimate reason.
The student has begun the unit but is currently not
pursuing it.
“D”
The student has not made reasonable effort and is therefore
“deficient” in attaining mastery of the
unit.
“E”
‘Exposure’. The student made a reasonable
effort in the unit and attained a level of mastery consistent
with his/her capabilities. (Elementary classes only,
but not in the areas of mathematics, reading, or language
arts.)
“W”
The student has withdrawn from this unit.
• “Carnegie Unit”
In the Secondary School Program students are granted
one credit for each Unit mastered. Ten credits correspond
to one “Carnegie Unit” used by many American
secondary schools.
