I understand the concept of sbr and if the school had the resources to be able to work to the concept ot mastery with each student t would be fabulous, However this is the real world and the class has to move through the curriculum needless of mastery. I agree why have a different system to the high school?

They can use both systems if they like but the preference would be traditional if they need to choose one.

I do not believe SBR should be used as a sole measure for student performance. I believe a traditional grading system combined with assessment of a students ability to master standards is a much more holistic approach to measuring academic performance.

I do not believe the standards based grading system is being applied as intended. Additionally, it allows for too much subjectivity in grading.

As an older sibling and a graduate from LBMS, the grading system is necessary to prepare kids for high school or else they’ll be completely blindsided!

The current system is too confusing for parents and students! I feel like we will be sending them to high school unprepared for letter grades and the stress that will in turn come with it!

Standards based grading was confusing for my son and for me. It gave no indication of his progress and was counter productive for his motivation to work hard. The numbers On his report card seemed very subjective based on each teachers level of competency with the standards grading and very opinion based for some teachers.

The non-letter grading is too subjective, confusing for students and parents, and discriminates against students with disabilities.

Unless LFHS’s Dr. Holland agrees to change to SBR, it makes no sense for LBMS

I believe traditional grading provides a more literal understanding for both parent and student as to where they stand. My experience with this newer format of grading makes it seem as if it's designed more so to show teacher's growth then the students.

My oldest just started LF High and has more stress about grades. I do not believe this is the best preparation for our kids. It is my understanding that Deerpath uses grades. If that is the case, why are we placing our kids at a disadvantage.

Please bring letter grades back!
