Standards Based Grading

Student work and assessments will utilize a scoring system that describes performance at four proficiency levels: Advanced (A), Proficient (P), Partially Proficient (PP), and Novice (N).  The standards based grades of ME = Meets with Excellence, MP = Meets with Proficiency, DP = Developing Proficiency, 
and WB = Well Below Proficiency are used for the report card only, and not for student performance. 
​

​The following are considerations for a standards-based report card grade:
​
  • Professional judgment that can be supported
  • Preponderance of evidence
  • Multiple opportunities to provide evidence
  • Frequency of demonstrated proficiency
  • More recent evidence
          ~ If past assessment information no longer accurately reflects the student’s learning, than that                     
             information is dropped and replaced by the new information.
  • Quality of evidence 
​          ~ ​If there is not enough student work to accurately assess a student’s quarterly status toward meeting the
             benchmarks, the teacher may use the NA mark and explain the reason in the teacher’s comments.


Standards-based grades are based on the above considerations rather than averages of scores. A bell curve is not used as the basis for grades.

Report Card Grades

​ME (Meets with Excellence)

  • shows an in-depth understanding of the concepts and skills included in the Hawaii Core Standards.
  • makes insightful connections to other ideas and concepts.
  • grasps, applies, and extends the key concepts and skills for the grade level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MP (Meets with Proficiency)

The Student:
  • demonstrates acceptable achievement of the Hawaii Core Standards.
  • shows a solid understanding of the concepts and skills in the Hawaii Core Standards.
  • uses appropriate strategies to solve problems.
  • grasps and applies the key concepts and skills for the grade level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

DP (Developing Proficiency)
Is approaching acceptable achievement of the targeted benchmarks/standards.

The Student:
  • demonstrates marginal achievement of the Hawaii Core Standards.
  • shows partial understanding of the concepts and skills in the Hawaii Core Standards (but has not achieved them yet.)
  • is beginning to grasp and apply the key concepts and skills for the grade level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

WB (Well Below Proficiency)
Does not demonstrate acceptable achievement of the targeted benchmarks/standards.
The Student:
  • demonstrates unacceptable achievement of the Hawaii Core Standards or provides no evidence.
  • needs additional learning opportunities to achieve even a partial understanding of the Hawaii Core Standards.
  • has difficulty grasping the key concepts and skills for the grade level.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

NA (Not Applicable at This Time)
Has not been graded at this time.
No judgment can be made at this time.  However, a grade will be given at the end of the year.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

SC (See Teacher Comments)
May refer to an attachment, such as medical notes or any other relevant documentation that would explain the lack of a grade.  It is inappropriate to write
“See IEP” in teacher’s comments.
