5th Grade percentage guidelines in context:
E = Students who take it the learning to a higher level. Reserved for those clearly above grade level. Guideline: 95% and more
S = Level to which the teacher teaches. Has met the end-of-year goal, whenever s/he does that. Guideline: 80-94%
Progressing = On-track to achieve the outcome “by the end of the year.” Available at the end of the year, too. (The student made progress by the end of the year or the end of the unit.) Most students earn this mid-year. Students are doing what they should be. “P” is the goal mid-year.
N = Not improving enough to be at grade level by the end of the year. Needs a great deal of support to make progress. This is a “red flag” to parents, teachers and student. Progress is minimal. Much extra guidance is needed.
