S — Intensive support needed
What it means
Grades frequently indicate difficulties. The student needs additional help with learning.
How the group is determined
At least 40% of grades are S — at least 4 out of every 10 grades.
S–T — Support and practice needed
What it means
Difficulties recur, or much of the assessed material still needs to be learned and reinforced.
How the group is determined
Between 20% and less than 40% of grades are S, or at least 60% of grades are S and T combined. If S reaches 40%, the student belongs to the S group.
T–A — Partly mastered, with some learning to reinforce
What it means
Some grades show that the student has a good grasp of the material, while other areas still need practice.
How the group is determined
More than 40% but less than 60% of grades are A and P combined, and fewer than 20% are S.
A–P — Mostly well mastered
What it means
Most grades show a good grasp of the material. Some difficulties still need attention.
How the group is determined
At least 60% of grades are A and P combined, and fewer than 20% are S. The P group criteria listed below have not yet been met.
P — Consistently high performance
What it means
The student consistently demonstrates advanced mastery.
How the group is determined
At least 80% of grades are P — at least 8 out of every 10 — and there are no S grades.
