GRADING SYSTEM

Number grades are given for all core subjects. Grades are an evaluation of what you have learned. They become part of a permanent record that last as you live. Institutions of higher learning, potential employers, and the various military services are interested in your school records. Credit is given for the successful completion of a course. Each course is assigned a fractional part or one unit of credit depending upon the amount of time that course meets. A course meeting for only one quarter would be worth 0.25 credits. One credit would be awarded for a class that meets for one year.

Letter Grade	Numerical Equivalent
A – Outstanding	90 – 100
B – Good	80 -89
C – Fair	70 – 79
D – Poor	60 -69
F – Failure	59 – 0

PROGRESS REPORTS

Progress reports are given out at the mid-point of each quarter and parents are asked to sign them. Failure to return a Progress report automatically releases the school from academic responsibility.

REPORT CARDS

Report cards are issued four times during the school year at the end of each quarter (every 8 weeks). In addition, parents will also be able to print a report card from the portal. A student needs to earn a minimal grade of 70% or C in order to pass a class.

ACADEMIC PROBATION

Any student earning a number of unsatisfactory grades (D’s) or (F’s) in two or more subject areas will be placed on academic probation for the next grading period. The teacher and Dean of Student’s will review the student’s progress to ensure the student receives the support needed to earn a passing grade. Students may be placed on academic probation when there are no failures, but where the general level of work in several subjects is below the level of “C”. Students who do not raise their grades by the end of the school year will either be required to attend summer school or will not be promoted to the next grade.

STANDARDIZED TESTING

Sophomores and Seniors register to take the SAT and TOEFL test as to meet the requirements of graduation.
