Interim Progress Reports are available electronically on Educate (tads.educate.com) approximately one week after the end of each academic quarter. A Report Card for all work performed during the first half of the year is issued at the conclusion of Semester 1. A Final Report Card will be issued at the end of the school year which details final averages for Semesters 1 and 2. Grades for individual assignments and current averages for each class (based on assignments completed at that time) are available electronically on Educate throughout the year. Parents and students are encouraged to review grades regularly to assess ongoing progress.
While numerical grades and Report Cards provide an ongoing assessment of a student’s performance, the faculty and administrators at Socrates Preparatory School realize that grades (especially those earned at the beginning of the academic year) may not always adequately reflect a student’s comprehension and mastery of a subject at the end of the year. The ultimate goal for each student is mastery of the subject matter by the end of the year.
