Grade Placement (GP)

Grade Placement (GP) is a numeric representation of a student's grade level, based on the specific month in which a student completes an assignment or test.

Renaissance considers the “standard” school year to run from September through June and assigns increment values of 0.0 through 0.9 to these months.

Grade Placements can be found in the following reports:
