New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday that the city’s schools would be implementing a revised grading system for most of its students as the country’s largest district continues to conduct classes through virtual learning amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade will receive either “Meets Standards” or “Needs Improvement,” while middle school students, those in grades six through eight, will receive “Meets Standards,” “Needs Improvement,” or “Course in Progress,” the mayor announced at a press conference.
