Assessment
Summary
- Metro operates on a Mastery-based system. In order to earn a credit in a class, a student must demonstrate mastery of the benchmarks at a 90% or better.
- Long blocks of time in integrated courses of study allow for deep inquiry and the development of strong student/teacher relationships.
- Students are provided extensive feedback about what the student is doing well, where the student needs to improve, and suggestions on how to improve.
- The advisory program assures that each student has an adult who serves as a student advocate.
- Learning centers across the community during the junior and senior year are selected by the student and are interest driven.
Grades and Accountability
The Metro Early College High School is standards driven and performance based. Each student –with their family or adult advocate and a Metro advisor—formulates a personalized learning plan targeted at successful performance on the OGT and specific graduation requirements for their “home school”. The Metro staff will work with the home district to ensure credit transfer and attainment of graduation requirements.
