WRITING BENCHMARK SCORES (Written Portion) The Writing Benchmark scale is 1 - 4, with 4 being the highest. We are required to post the grade on Gradespeed. Unfortunately, the program doesn't have the capabilities to post points on a scale like that. We are doing the best we can to communicate the information to parents. We expect the Benchmark scores to be low because they are quite challenging and leave room for improvement over the year. To get a good idea of what each score means, please visit the following website: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/taks/rubrics/writing.pdf .
