Huntsville City Schools is excited to take the next step in Standards-Based reporting during the school year. Grades will join K - 2 in this “best-practice” of 21st century education.

What is the purpose of Standards-Based grading? The purpose of SBG is to improve student achievement by focusing instruction and the alignment of curriculum with the essential standards. Standards-based grading and reporting provides better communication to students, parents, teachers and administrators on what each student knows and is able to do according to the identified standards.
