Standards-based Grading Information

Danville Local Schools provides all students with a standards-based education while differentiating instruction, implementing interventions, and providing feedback on standards-based performance to stakeholders to meet the needs as well as challenge all learners. The physical and social-emotional needs of all students are always a priority in educating the “whole child” to become a contributing member of the school and community.

Danville Schools is honoring the District’s Vision by “Doing what is best for students” by developing a communication tool to provide students and parents with a more effective way to understand student growth and achievement. We believe the information found on this website will help you understand the benefits of a standards-based report card and how to effectively utilize the information provided on your student’s standards-based grade card.

“Learning is an ongoing process and what matters is
how much learning occurs, not when it occurs”
~ Robert Marzano

Why do we use performance levels for the standards instead of grade letters?

Our standards-based reporting system is designed to provide specific information about the skills students are progressing toward mastering.  The student’s progress toward standards will be marked using the mastery scales below.
