Grading Scales

Grading Scale:

The academic year is made up of two eighteen  week semesters. Credit for classes is given on the basis of semester grades. Report cards are issued at the end of the first quarter, first semester, third quarter, and second semester, and the grade given will reflect that period of time. The school’s grading scale is as follows: 

Quarter Grades:  

Quarter grades are an evaluation of the students progress for an entire nine-week period. These grades are recorded on the students report card after the end of the first and third quarters. Although these grades are not part of the permanent academic record, they do reflect progress for a significant part of the semester grade.

Semester Grades:  

Semester grades are an evaluation of the students work for an entire eighteen-week period, which includes final exams. These grades become part of the students permanent record. Semester grades are the basis for grade point averages and honor roll determination.

Progress Reports:  

Progress reports are issued half way into each quarter. These reports are issued by teachers to commend the student for outstanding work or to communicate the need for improvement. Upon parental request or recommendation from teachers or administration, a student may be put on a weekly progress report if deficiencies occur. Careful attention should be given to the grades and to the comments noted by the teacher.

Report Cards:

At the conclusion of each quarter, an evaluation of the students progress for an entire nine-week period will be recorded on the students report card.
