Essential Standard Scores

Each course has a set of standards that describe the big learning goals. Students receive scores on these standards through their performance on  summative assessments (i.e. end-of-unit tests, projects, presentations, essays):

Soft Skill Scores

Teachers will update scores mid-semester and at the end of a semester on how often students demonstrate different non-academic skills (i.e. leadership, collaboration) in each class.
