Meaning of term grade equivalent :
A score that describes student performance in terms of the statistical performance of an average student at a given grade level.

This score allows for a theoretical or approximate comparison across grades. It ranges from September of the kindergarten year (K.O.) to June of the senior year in high school (12.9) Useful as a ranking score, grade equivalents are only a theoretical or approximate comparison across grades. In this case, it may not indicate what the student would actually score on a test given to a midyear fifth grade class.
