GRADE CONCERNS

 

REPORTS

DEFICIENCIES
Official Progress Reports are issued four times a year to parents of students.  The reports
reflect deficient achievement of the student’s academic and behavioral progress.
 
Deficiencies are issued based on the following schedule:

1st quarter       end of 5th week
2nd quarter     end of 4th week
3rd quarter      end of 5th week   
4th quarter      end of 4th week


REPORT CARDS
Official Report Cards are issued four times a year.  Only those grades on the first and second semester report cards go on the official transcript.  Parents should expect to receive report cards within two to three weeks after the end of each quarter.


SEMESTER GRADES
Semester grades are calculated based on the following formula:      
        40% 1st quarter grade
        40% 2nd quarter grade
        20% final exam grade


GRADE POINT AVERAGE (G.P.A)
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is determined by the sum of the numerical equivalent for the grade divided by the total number of semester classes. 

The Weighted GPA is used only to determine class rank.  

The Unweighted GPA is used for admission to most colleges, universities, and for scholarships at in-state schools.
