Your child's report card will be distributed in the next few weeks. A report card communicates a student's learning progress during the grading period. All Highline schools are using standards-based grading (SBG) and student’s scores will reflect this.

About Standards-Based Grading
All Highline elementary schools use standards-based grading, which measures how well students are learning specific grade-level standards. Instead of traditional letter grades, you’ll see scores from 1 to 4 that show your child’s progress:
- X: Not evaluated at this time because it has not yet been covered in class
- 1: Beginning to understand
- 2: Making progress
- 3: Meeting the standard
- 4: Exceeding the standard
This approach focuses on learning over time, not just single assignments. Teachers will discuss your child’s progress and next steps during conferences. Learn more about Standards Based Grading on our website.
