Quarterly Assessed
Goals
Common Formative Assessments (CFA) are given to track progress. Here is the grading scale used:
100% - 90% = 4
89% - 80% = 3
79% - 60% = 2
59%-0 = 1
4 = Exceeds Proficiency
Student exceedingly demonstrates an advanced level of understanding of grade level standards, skills, and processes
taught in this reporting period.
3 = Proficient
Student consistently demonstrates an understanding of grade level standards, skills, and processes taught in this reporting period.
2 = Approaching Proficiency
Student is not yet consistent in demonstrating an understanding
of grade level standards, skills, and processes taught in
this reporting period.
1 = Support Needed
Student does not demonstrate an understanding of grade level standards, skills, and processes taught in this reporting period. Student is performing significantly below grade level expectations.
