What Does a B Grade Mean? Report Says Parents Should Seek More Academic Measures

A recent report based on polling parents of K-12 students found that while most think their child is on the right track academically based on their grades, test scores show the majority of students are not actually performing at grade level. The report released this week from Gallup and Learning Heroes found that while almost 80% of parents said their students received at least B grades, under 50% meet standardized test scores that show proficiency. The discrepancy points to the need for measures outside the traditional report card, the report found.
