Abstract
Small rural schools utilize multi-graded classes to maintain their viability. When the majority of classes are combined, the result is a multi-graded school. In Alberta alone, there are approximately 90 schools that would be defined as a multi-graded school, and every rural school board has at least one on its roster. In Alberta, students and their caregivers are promised that their children will receive a quality education from their public school, regardless of size or location. This quantitative, descriptive research study found that according to parent, teacher, and student surveys, multi-graded, rural Alberta schools provide quality education but do poorer on provincial standardized tests. By acknowledging an academic issue for multi-graded rural schools, the focus can move to how to utilize the unique education provided at these schools to improve results and maintain cultural importance in the community. multi-graded, rural, education, quality, viability Les petites écoles rurales utilisent des classes à plusieurs niveaux pour maintenir leur viabilité. Lorsque la majorité des classes sont combinées, il s'agit d'une école à niveaux multiples. Rien qu'en Alberta, il existe environ 90 écoles que l'on pourrait définir comme des écoles à niveaux multiples, et chaque conseil scolaire rural en compte au moins une sur sa liste. En Alberta, on promet aux enfants et aux personnes qui s'occupent d'eux que les élèves recevront une éducation de qualité dans leur école publique, quelle que soit sa taille ou sa situation géographique. Cette étude quantitative descriptive a révélé que, selon les enquêtes menées auprès des parents, des enseignants et des élèves, les écoles rurales albertaines à classes multiples dispensent un enseignement de qualité, mais obtiennent de moins bons résultats aux tests standardisés provinciaux. En reconnaissant l'existence d'un problème académique dans les écoles rurales à classes multiples, on peut se concentrer sur la manière d'utiliser l'enseignement unique dispensé dans ces écoles pour améliorer les résultats et maintenir l'importance culturelle de la communauté. Mots clés : à niveaux multiples, rural, éducation, qualité, viabilité

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
