Standards based grading is a system of reporting student proficiency in a number of specific learning goals (or targets). Rather than give students one grade on a test that assessed multiple skills, this system gives students a number of scores that represent their proficiency in each of the standards.
The focus is on knowledge, not on points.

Since grades will no longer be averaged, the score received on a standard or skill will better represent what your child knows and can do.
