    Grading for 3rd-12th Grades     /Page/84444

    Students in 3rd through 12th grades will receive marks for their proficiency towards the grade level standards using the following scale. These marks are for information and do not calculate the student's overall course grade.

    4 = Highly Proficient

    3 = Proficient

    2 = Partially Proficient

    1 = Minimally Proficient

     

    Students in 3rd through 12th grades will receive marks for their overall performance in each course of study using the following letter grade scale. Overall course grades for students in grades 3-12 will be calculated from the average of the student’s assignment scores* (assessments, coursework). 

    A =  90-100% 

    B =  80-89%

    C =  70-79%

    D =  60-69%

    F =   0-59%

    Grades of “D” and above are passing marks.  A course grade of “F” indicates that the student has failed the course.  For 9th-12th grade levels, no course credit will be awarded for a failing course grade. The student will need to recover the credit outside of the school day.

    *For graded work in the Assessment Category, teachers will enter the proficiency marks for each standard measured and use the following guide to assign a score to the assignment.  Parents will see the percentage score for each grade book entry with the letter grade mark on the front page of the PowerSchool parent portal.

    Grade Book Categories

    All 1st-12th grade teachers' gradebooks will utilize the following categories in the gradebook.

    ASSESSMENT: This category includes all items used to measure a student’s proficiency towards the learning standards once the student has had sufficient practice and at a specified point in time. This category can include summative tests, performance assessments, reports, unit or module assessments, quizzes, long-term projects, short-term projects, presentations, capstone projects, research papers, and lab reports. 

    COURSEWORK: This category includes formative work that provides students with the opportunity to learn content and skills and to receive feedback on their learning.  Coursework is assigned to provide meaningful, independent practice, reinforce learning targets, and extend learning. This category can include in-class assignments, quizzes, exit tickets, checks-for-understanding, and daily activities.

    PRACTICE:  This category includes formative student work that a student completes while in the process of learning specific skills.  Student work that is done inside and outside of the classroom, such as classwork and homework, falls into this category. 

     

    Category Weights

    Gradebooks will be set to utilize the following weights for each category.

    ASSESSMENT: 80%

    COURSEWORK: 20%
