The Newark Public School recognizes that a system of grading student achievement will help students; teachers and parents/guardians assess progress toward educational goals. Student achievement is defined as competence in specific subject matter content. A grade represents the total student academic achievement in a given course. A minimum of nine grades is required in order to examine student progress over time.
