Grade 'A' Report Card Question (Funky Grading)

[FOV]

My dd's school has a unique grading system. They are graded on a scale of 1 - 5 as follows:

1 - Below average and qualifies you for Special Ed, indicates you have a serious problem. Will probably stay back.
2 - Working toward goal
3 - Right where you should be
4 - Outstanding (Probably equivalent to an 'A')
5 - Brilliant to the point where you should skip a grade. Our school has only awarded a '5' once in the 6 years this grading system has been used.

I expect my daughter to get all 3's and 4's. She will NOT get a '5'. Do you think the HRH will consider a 5 to be an 'A' and deny her the reward program? I would like to know in advance because I don't want her to be crushed!

Thanks!

The elementary school my boys go to has the same grading system you described. They also never give 5's. Not to worry the 4's worked for us at Loews!

Thanks Jessica! I was thinking I should just leave the report card at home but looks like now we'll take it!
