We use O (Outstanding), S (Satisfactory), I (Improvement Shown), N (Needs
Improvement). The N's are good for helping diagnose those children who are
developmentally delayed, have learning disabilities, etc. And the I shows
that the student is making progress, but still not performing at grade
level.
