Originally, Westview incorporated a "standards" system into its grading policy. These standards were based on state standards, and all classes were required to implement them. Each course had a set of standards that students had to pass in order to obtain a passing grade. Each standard had to do with a particular concept taught in the course, and a student passed the standard when he or she demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the concept. One effect of the standards system was that a student was guaranteed a passing grade if he or she passed all the standards of the class. A student would not receive credit for the class if even one standard was incomplete at the end of the quarter. This was especially problematic in math and science courses, which generally had large amounts of standards. This system was dropped at the end of the 2004-2005 school year. [2]
