Grading Policy

Tarrant Elementary School students receive a Standards Based Report Card. Standard Based Report Cards are based on the Alabama College and Career Ready Standards.  Students are evaluated on mastery or non-mastery of individual standards.  Non-mastered standards are re-taught until students master the standards at their highest demonstrated ability at the end of the 9 weeks/year.

Grades K-2

E = Excellence (above grade level)
S = Satisfactory (on grade level)
P = Progressing (partial mastery)
N = Needs improvement (non-mastery)
