Students are not given a single grade on their report cards. Their grades are broken down by subject and a student can achieve a smattering of grades that all fall within an acceptable range to the parent. Schools should be offered the same opportunity, excelling in some data points and reaching acceptable marks in other. Allowing schools to excel in different categories and have that reflected in school rating provides for greater choice and accountability in education. Education should never be a one size fits all approach, because no two students are identical.
