Northern Territory Reporting Framework

Northern Territory uses the A-E achievement scale for all learning areas based on NTBOS-approved standards. Reports are required twice yearly with A-E grades for English and Mathematics each semester, and all other learning areas at least once per year. Transition students use effort reporting only, and students with Educational Adjustment Plans can opt out of A-E grading.
