Dropping the "D" grade shows signs of paying off in Frederick, Md. A year after Frederick County School District eliminated the D in its high schools, preliminary data from one semester shows that many students who formerly got D's were getting C's and even B's, says Henry Bohlander, instructional director for high schools.
That's what is supposed to happen, declares Thomas Guskey, professor of educational policy studies and evaluation at the University of Kentucky. Classroom grades should become more consistent with grades required to pass state assessments and qualify for graduation, asserts Guskey, who served as a consultant to the Frederick County schools.
