Portsmouth Middle School Grade 7 Student Experience

Grade 7 Academic Information

Your child’s current progress toward mastering grade-level standards is designed to be met by the end of the school year.  Here are a few notes:

  • Grade 7 is on a quarter schedule (four progress reports/four formal report cards)

    • Our progress report is the same as the report card. 

    • The progress report and report card will be published in the Aspen Family Portal   

  • Middle school grading is based on a traditional 100 point scale, which is then converted to the traditional letter system.

  • A (90-100): Your child has mastered the end-of-year benchmark.

  • B (80-89): Your child is meeting grade-level expectations of the standard.

  • C (70-79): Your child has a basic understanding of the standard and is approaching grade-level expectations.

  • D (60-69): Your child is beginning to understand the content, but may need additional support to meet grade-level expectations.

  • Any grade below a 65 is considered a failing grade and would deem a student academically ineligible for extracurricular activities/athletics.  

  • F (Below 60): Your child is not meeting grade level expectations and requires significant support.
