Quote:
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.
Teachers must enter those levels into the school district computer system as a whole number — 1, 2, 3 or 4 — and the computer calculates a percentage grade. Critics say that percentage mark is not necessarily accurate because it can vary up to eight points on either side of the mark a student truly deserves

This is pretty bad. So you could get 85 on every assignment/test, and get 100% as a final grade. In my day, those marks would get you a B.
