Attendance and Promptness

Block Tests

Middle school students are tested at the end of most main lesson blocks. The student’s resulting score or grades are made available to parents in the mid and final semester written reports. Semester grades for the full 7th grade year and the first semester of 8th grade comprise student transcripts for entrance into high school.

Standardized Tests

In spring of 7th grade, students are introduced to standardized testing.

Grades

In our assessment of each student, we strive to develop a healthy relationship between the student’s abilities and their efforts. Students receive feedback at the end of every block of study from their main lesson teacher and bi-annually from subject teachers. In 7th and 8th grade, block letter grades become a part of the student’s permanent transcript.
