Grading and Reporting
MCPS uses a grading program that is standards based.
Grades reflect what students know and are able to do in relation to grade-level expectations.
Grades are based on multiple measures over time.
Learning is evaluated using varied tasks/assignments such as tests, projects, reports, teacher observation, and discussions.
Grades are given for achievement and not effort. Effort is graded in the Work Study section of the report card
