4-Point Grading Scale Explanation
Rationale:
At Hartland High School we are attempting to bring more consistency and accuracy
to the academic marks that we provide for students. In addition, many
conversations are taking place about homework, extra credit, late work, and a
variety of other grading policies. This year, many teachers are engaging in a simple
and easy to understand grading and reporting scale (the 4-point scale) which is
consistent with GPA scales and what colleges use.
How it Works:
In class, students will be graded on the following scale:
4.0 – A
3.7 – A-
3.3 – B+
3.0 – B
2.7 – B-
2.3 – C+
2.0 – C
1.7 – C-
1.3 – D+
1.0 – D
0.7 – D-
0.3 – E
0.0 – N (No Attempt)
In the MiSTAR Teacher Grade book, you will notice that all grades in the grade book
are represented by a number above. These numbers represent the grade that the
student received on the assignment. If a student received a B+ on a paper, the grade
book will show a 3.3 for the mark.
Conclusion:
This standardized scale will help bring much-needed consistency and clarity to the
marks that students are given in each course and on each assignment. Furthermore,
you will be able to directly compare their classroom grades to their overall historic
GPA marks.
