Grading Policy

Schenck High School uses a numerical grading system. Grades below 70 are failing grades. The grades of students transferring to Schenck High School will be converted in accordance with the following scale:

A+ (98-100) B+ (90-92) C+ (82-84) D+ (73-74)

A (95-97) B (87-89) C (78-81) D (71-72)

A- (93-94) B- (85-86) C- (75-77) D- (70- )

F (69-0)

All pass (P) or fail (F) courses shall not be included in the computation of class standing. All courses (except support group and gifted and talented) shall be included in computing class standing. Summer school courses, correspondence courses, university level courses, private school courses, and adult education courses may be used in the computation of class standing as long as the Principal has approved the course for inclusion prior to student enrollment in the course. Credit will be awarded on the basis of one high school credit for each three-credit college course.
