Nevada’s Clark County School District (CCSD), the fifth largest school district in the nation, has moved toward implementing an “equitable grading system” in its classrooms as part of a recent grading reform initiative.

The new grading method is specifically designed to “embody the core values of equity, accountability, and high expectations for all students,” according to the CCSD website.

For the 2022-2023 school year, CCSD sought to “[i]mplement a consistent reassessment policy to include opportunities for reflection, revision, and reassessment to ensure mastery of the NVACS [Nevada Academic Content Standards] and District curriculum for all students.”
