Math Grading System

Middle School Math Grades – Effective immediately, the grading for middle school math will revert back to traditional letter grades. We believe the most effective vehicle to communicate your student’s progress is through traditional percentages that align with letter grades. Another change effective immediately, each quarter report card grade will reflect the student’s work during that quarter only. We will not have cumulative quarter nor semester grades. Extra credit will continue to not be an option for math classes.
