Overview

The most common form of assessment in education is subject area or course grades. Grades are widely used and accepted by educators, parents, and students as measures of growth and success. Many studies have identified course performance in core subject areas such as mathematics and English as strong predictors of high school completion.

Students with failing course grades require immediate intervention. Teachers and counselors can intervene to identify out-of-class support or to review the student's course progression and make adjustments to their course enrollment.
