The achievement status of students in Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS) is formally assessed and reported to parents via report cards on a regular basis. The most important purposes of our grading and reporting system are:

• To communicate achievement status of students
• To document students’ performance to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional program
• To promote student learning

Kindergarten

• •  Not Yet Demonstrated
• •  Emerging
• •  Progressing
• •  Meets the Standard
• •  Exceeds the Standard

 

Performance Level 1	Little to No Progress Toward Standard Indicates that the student is generally unable to demonstrate the learning goal even with much assistance and guidance. **Level 1 would mean that the student can demonstrate NO skills with or without guidance.
Performance Level 2	Progressing Toward the Standard If multiple skills are included in the performance level description, a score of 2 would indicate: (a) that the student could demonstrate at least 1 or more of the skills with guidance OR (b) that the student could demonstrate at least 1 of the skills independently. **If they can demonstrate any skills independently, then they are at least a level 2 **If they can demonstrate any skills with guidance, then they are at least at level 2
Performance Level 3	Meeting the Standard Indicates that the student is able to independently (without significant guidance and assistance) demonstrate mastery of the learning goal. If multiple skills are included in the performance level description, a score of 3 would indicate that the student can demonstrate independent mastery of all skills listed.

Performance Level 4	Exemplary Indicates that the student is able to independently and consistently demonstrate the learning goal AND is able to go significantly beyond the expected level of performance with greater depth and application.
It is important to note that the requirements to meet the standards increase each quarter; therefore it is quite possible for a child to score a 3 or 4 first quarter and then make a 2 second quarter as the level of difficulty increase.
