If a child is being taught above grade level in any subject, by definition, is that child required to get a 4 on his report card?
By definition, Level 4 work shows application, connection, and extension of the targeted goals. While being instructed above grade level is not required for achieving a level 4, children who are taught above grade level have consistently shown mastery and application of the subject at his/her current grade. It would be likely that this child would receive a 4. Achieving a 4 does not preclude a teacher from suggesting areas for improvement in the comment section of the report card.
