Many students were left unhappy in the W4 classes on Feb. 3. Students received their second quarter report cards, from their teachers. The report cards also showcased their first semester grades, which is their first and second quarter grades averaged.
“I feel like I could do better and my grades don’t exactly reflect my true abilities,” junior Nardos Assefa said.
Several teachers thought that with the use of Atom Time this year, students would take advantage of the extra free time to seek help with any teacher or class they were having trouble with. Students with below average grades were assigned to the class and teacher they were struggling with.
“The scores were a little lower than the first quarter,” ESOL teacher Georgiana Tomisato said.
Each quarter gives every student a chance to improve. Students that are displeased with the grades they have received for second quarter still have third and fourth quarter to improve.
Although some were unhappy with the outcome of their report cards, others were happy with the grades on their report card for second quarter.
“I improved in all my classes for second quarter. I’m pretty happy about that,” sophomore Danny Alfaro said.
