GRADING SCALE/POLICY Grades are relative to a particular course and represent student achievement to understanding the designed curricular concepts and district standards. Students are evaluated on a term basis. Only term grades are permanent records and generate credit. Term exam grades are included and count between 15%-20% of the term grades. Pluses and minuses are used and have an impact on grade points awarded (except for an A+ which is weighted the same as an A.) A minus reduces the grade points by 0.33 while a plus is worth 0.33 (see 11-point grade scale) Percentage Grade Grade Points 98-100 A+ 4.000 93-97.9 A 4.000 90-92.9 A- 3.667 87-89.9 B+ 3.333 83-86.9 B 3.000 80-82.9 B- 2.667 77-79.9 C+ 2.333 73-76.9 C 2.000 70-72.9 C- 1.667 67-69.9 D+ 1.333 63-66.9 D 1.000 60-62.9 D- 0.667 59 & below F 0.000 11-Point Scale A student receives ½ credits for each term-long full time course, which is completed with the D- or better. If a student repeats a course, which has they failed or passed with D+, D, or D-, the higher grade is recorded on the student record, and the student receives a grade of R for the first course taken.
