School Academic Performance

Our Philosophy

At Babcock Neighborhood and High School, the focus is steadfastly on the mastery of subjects rather than merely chasing grades. This philosophy stems from the understanding that true learning and comprehension are about depth and application, not just numerical scores.

While the school emphasizes this approach, we recognize that the broader educational system, including state assessments, still largely operates on a traditional grading scale. Despite this prevailing system, it’s noteworthy that Babcock has consistently excelled within these parameters as well, as evidenced by the impressive grades received by the school’s students in recent years. These achievements, while celebrated, are viewed as a byproduct of our commitment to deep, meaningful learning, rather than solely letter grades.
