Quote:
Under Battle River’s model, a student is graded at one of four levels — beginning, developing, achieving or excelling. In high school, those levels are tied to percentage grades because Alberta Education requires numbers, as do post-secondary institutions.
A student scoring between zero and 50 per cent would be at the “beginning” level. “Developing” is from 51 to 66 per cent, “achieving” is from 67 to 83, and excelling” ranges from 84 to 100.

To me this seems like adding an unecessary step that leads to rounding errors. The rounding errors could affect a students application to post secondary.
I would like to hear more from other people before commenting more.
