How does the report card section of the placement matrix work?
On the fifth grade report card there are three standard grading areas in reading. If a student receives a grade of 4 in each of these three areas they receive the full 10 points possible. This is shown as 3/3 on the matrix. If the student receives two 4s out of the possible three it shows as a 2/3 on the matrix and that student would receive 7 points. In writing there are four standard areas on the fifth grade report card, so there are four possible 4s that a student can earn. In order to receive 10 points on the matrix in writing, a student must earn a (4) in 4/4 areas. In social/learning skills there are nine standard areas on the fifth grade report card, so there are nine possible 4s that a student can earn. In order to receive 10 points on the matrix in writing, a student must earn a (4) in 7-9/9 areas.
