Students performing at the Mastered level will be encouraged by their teacher to initiate independent work outside normal course material to further their ability to apply and integrate course concepts. Distinctions will be listed with the course grade for the trimester in which they are brought to noteworthy completion. Student demonstrates factual and conceptual understanding of course material with some ability to apply concepts. Incomplete assignments and failure to understand course material. Renaissance School uses several methods of assessing student performance and communicating student progress to students and parents.
Grades provide a transferable record of a student's performance for other schools.
Quarterly grades are issued every 9 weeks, and semester grades are issued approximately every 18 weeks. While Renaissance School considers its grading policy to have high and absolute standards, Faculty feedback provides an opportunity for the students academic needs to be addressed on various levels. Interim reports are issued approximately one month before the end of each semester in order to give students and parents firm awareness of academic standing. Students and parents have the three opportunities above to receive feedback on academic performance and requirements. Because of the high academic standards Renaissance School holds for it's students, and because Renaissance School expects students to hold high academic standards for themselves, a D or 1 average in a class should be considered a serious warning to the student.
