Grade Equivalent (GE): A grade equivalent is a
score that describes your student’s achievement
number that describes academic performance in terms of grade level and month.
If your student (as a 3rd grade student) receives a
GE of 4.2 on the third grade Reading Test, this means your student scored as well as a fourth grade student in the second month of the school year if given the same third grade Reading Test.
