What information is typically maintained in a cumulative file?

  1. Grades and standardized assessment results

  2. Only health records of the students

  3. A list of all students enrolled in the school

  4. Financial information about the student

The correct answer is: Grades and standardized assessment results

The information typically maintained in a cumulative file includes grades and standardized assessment results, as these documents provide crucial insights into a student's academic performance and progress over time. Cumulative files are designed to track a student's educational journey, encompassing achievements, assessments, and any evaluations or interventions they may have undergone. This compiled data is essential for teachers and administrators, as it informs instructional decisions and helps identify areas where a student may need additional support. The other options, while they may contain relevant information, do not reflect the primary purpose of a cumulative file. Health records are kept separately under privacy laws and are not part of academic tracking. A list of students enrolled in the school serves administrative purposes but does not pertain to individual academic performance. Lastly, financial information is typically handled through a different administrative process, unrelated to the academic and developmental records maintained in a cumulative file.
