How Grades are Calculated:
Frequently Asked Question: Why don’t my child’s grades add up correctly?
Different grading scales and weightings are applied to different types of assignments. Simply adding scores will not indicate that a child’s grades are incorrect.
Grades are calculated by obtaining the nine-weeks average for tests 25%, projects/presentations 25%, homework 10%, district benchmarks 10%, quizzes 15%, and classwork 15%.
This letter represents the performance of your child relative to his ability.
A…93-100
B…85-92
C…77-84
D…70-76
F… Below 70
