Understanding where students are in relation to mastery of Common Core standards helps teachers and parents know if students need additional help, if students are proficient, or if students need further enrichment. At Quest Academy, students’ grades are determined by student performance on various grade level assessments. Students are given multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of standards. For example, if a student cannot meet a standard, he/she will not only be retaught, but will also have the opportunity to raise his/her score by retaking the assessment multiple times throughout the school year. We are excited for the opportunities offered to our students for academic growth.
