Grading Standards/Scale

Every teacher will publish a syllabus of the material to be covered, educational goals to be achieved, and standards for grading in his/her class at the beginning of each year or trimester. This syllabus will include a list of major projects, reports, or essays and their due dates.

Modifications to any part of this syllabus may be made by the teacher by means of a written notice sent home to the student's parents/guardians.

We use the following grading scale for grades K-2:

O = Outstanding; the student is consistently meeting academic and/or behavioral expectations, with little or no teacher help.

G = Good; the student is consistently meeting academic and/or behavioral expectations.

S = Satisfactory; the student has areas in need of improvement in order to meet academic and/or behavioral expectations.

NI = Needs Improvement; the student is well below academic and/or behavioral expectations, needing constant teacher intervention or direction.

We use the following grading scale for grades 3-8:

​A = 93-100 A- =90-92 B+ = 87-89 B = 83-86 B- = 80-82 C+ = 77-79 C = 73-76 C- = 70-72 D+ = 67-69 D = 63-66 D- = 60-62 F = 59 and below

Grade Point Averages (GPA) for grades 6-8 will be calculated as follows: Grades for all classes except art, P.E., and music will be included. A=4.0, A-=3.7, B+= 3.5, B=3.0, B-=2.7, C+=2.5, C=2.0, C-=1.7, D+=1.5, D=1.0, D-=0.7, F=0.0.​
