The state’s grading system for public
schools provides parents with information about school performance. We would note that the grades defined by the A-F rating system are not
the same as a traditional grading scale. The A-F ratings are strongly weighted towards whether test scores show an increase over the previous year, rather than whether a school and its students are already high-achieving. The achievement test data which makes up a large portion of a
school's grade is principally based on the very rigorous PARCC
examinations in English language arts and math.
Letter grades
are but one indicator of how schools and students are doing. We
encourage parents with questions about test scores, grades, and programs
at specific schools to contact their child's teacher or principal and
make an appointment to discuss the information.
