Grading
Students are graded based on their knowledge of the standards tested on every formative and summative assessment. Students may receive multiple grades on one assessment since every standard receives a separate grade. Teachers use a 4-point grading scale (4=A, 3=B, 2=C, 1=NP or Not Passing). A “0” will be given for any formative or summative assessment that is missing. Overall course grades are based on a range: A (3.4–4.0), B (2.70–3.39), C (2.00–2.69), NP (0.00–1.99).
Life Skills Grade
Life skill grades are based on four primary areas: Behavior, Working in Groups, Participation, and Work Completion. Students will be graded on the following four-point scale: 1) Unsatisfactory, 2) Needs Improvement, 3) Satisfactory, 4) Excellent.
Incomplete Grades
A teacher may determine that a student shall have more time to complete required coursework due to an extended illness, death or illness in the family, or other reason deemed to be of an extenuating nature. The teacher may assign the student an Incomplete (“I”), with a deadline to make up the assigned work. Upon completion of the assigned work or by the deadline, the teacher will submit a grade change form to officially change the “I” to a letter grade. If a student does not complete the work by the deadline, s/he risks failing the class.
