·         Report cards are issued every nine weeks.  Grades in elementary through high school are designated with an A, B, C, D, F, I, W, and P and represent academic work as follows:

A         Superior (93-100): Work is of superior quality; all assignments completed on time; work is done neatly and accurately; the student works independently and does more than is required.

B         Above Average (86-92): Work is above average in quality; all assignments completed on time; work is done neatly and accurately; mastery of major portions of the assigned work is evident.

C         Average (77-85): Work is of average quality; sufficient mastery for successful continuation of subject.

D         Below Average (70-76): Passable work but meeting only bare minimum requirements for continuation of the subject.

F          Failure (69 and below): Minimum requirements for continuation of subject are not being met.

I           Incomplete: Some work is not finished and ready for grading. 

W        Withdrawn: Student was withdrawn prior to the completion of sufficient work to warrant an accurate letter grade.

P          Passing (70-100): This grade is assigned when general requirements are met.

·         Half-way through each grading period, mid-term progress reports will be issued.

·        Each spring the school administers the Stanford Achievement Tests and the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test to selected grades.  These tests yield scores and norms which are based upon comparison with other students in both public and private schools across the country.  Results of these tests will be sent out along with the final report cards at the end of the school year.

·        Students in the five-year-old kindergarten program receive marks of Outstanding, Satisfactory, or Needs Improvement in key areas such as math; phonics; handwriting; Bible; functional skills; work habits; and physical, personal, and social growth.
