Overview of Standards Based Report Cards
Standards Based Report Cards provide more clarity for students and families by providing greater detail on what the individual standards are for each subject and grade level. In Foxborough, our report card standards are based on end-of-year benchmarks that have been identified from the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. It is our expectation that our students need a full year to achieve the grade level expectation for each standard.
For all grade levels and marking periods, we employ the following scale to communicate your student's progress toward mastery of the grade level standard:
|
|
|
|
4
|
Demonstrates beyond the grade level standard at this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3
|
Meets the grade level standard at this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
Progressing toward the grade level standard at this time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
|
Presents an entry level understanding of the grade level standard at this time.
|

For each marking period, your student's score is reflective of where they are at this point in time in relation to end-of-year benchmarks. For example, if your student receives a score of a 3 it means they have demonstrated mastery of the end-of-year standard. It is not the expectation that your student would have demonstrated mastery on an end-of-year standard part way through the academic year.
As always, it is important that you reach out to your student's teacher with any questions about their progress in class.
