Traditional Grading	Target\|Standards-Based Grading
A,B,C,D,F represent percentage of points accumulated. Non-academic factors affect grades such as participation, attendance, late work, etc. Everything is graded and averaged together. Early assignments can skew the final grade. Reports a single grade for each class.	3,2,1 represent student performance in relation to specific standards\|targets. Based on common core national, state, and district standards. A report of what students know and are able to do. Reflect academic performance only. Behavioral information (called Student Success Attributes) reported separately.
