How is student progress assessed?
Grand River Academy is a mastery-based program, which means K-12 students master concepts before moving on to the next lesson. Following ESSA and state guidelines, students are expected to make at least a year's growth in a year. Teachers will assess mastery and provide feedback to students and families.
