Grading
and Examinations
Numerical
grades will be used in all grading instead of letter
grades. The grading scale is as follows
| 90
- 100 |
indicates
outstanding
achievement |
| 80
- 89 |
indicates
good achievement |
| 75
- 79 |
indicates
average achievement |
| 70
- 74 |
indicates
poor achievement |
| 69
- 0 |
indicates
unsatisfactory
achievement or failing |
The
semester (transcript) grade will be the numerical
average of the three six weeks grade and the semester
exam. Each six weeks grade will count 30% and the
semester exam will count 10% of the final semester
grade. A fifty (50) will be the lowest percent score
recorded on report cards and transcripts. The actual
grade will be reported for semester exams. The daily
grade should represent at least 50% of the report
card grade. No one grade should count more than 25%
of the six weeks grade. The weighting of unit tests,
daily response in class, term papers, and other segments
of daily work is to be left to the judgment of the
teacher.
If
the first semester of a one-year course is failed,
full credit shall still be granted for the year if
the second semester grade is high enough to make a
passing grade when averaged with the first semester
grade. If the first semester of a one year course
is passed, and the second semester is failed, credit
shall be granted for the first semester only.
If
a student fails the second semester of a course, the
student must repeat that semester. If a student fails
the first semester of a course, and the second semester
grade is insufficient to make a passing average for
the year, the student must repeat the first semester.
