Grading Scale
Grading
Students will receive an Academic Education grade (letter grade) which will reflect their knowledge/skills of the Indiana Academic Standards for each subject area as indicated by assessment data accumulated throughout the course which will be used to calculate Grade Point Average. All classroom assessments, assignments (including homework), and activities will be directly linked to the Indiana Academic Standards. Grades accumulate over the course of the semester.

Though a report card is issued at the nine weeks, the semester grade is the product of an 18-week semester’s worth of student work, not an average of two nine-week grading periods. Parents are encouraged to monitor the academic and social progress of their student at each grading period. Questions about grading procedures and standards should be referred to the teacher.
DEFINITION OF MID-TERM AND SEMESTER GRADE
- The mid-term grade is an accumulation of the nine weeks’ work.
- The semester grade is an accumulation for the entire semester’s work and is not an average of the two nine-week grading periods.
- The semester grade is printed on the student’s official transcript.
