All student grades will be recorded as numerical percentages.
  • A percentage of 70 or higher is a passing grade.
  • If students earn an average below 55% for the first, second, or third marking period, a minimum grade of 55 will be listed on the report card rather than the actual average earned.
  • For the mid-term exam, final exam and fourth quarter, all recorded report card grades will represent the actual grade earned by the student.
A student will not receive credit for classes they fail for the year. Parents are encouraged to monitor student grades throughout the year and check report cards each quarter. Intervention with tutoring or extra help during the year can reduce the occurrence of year failures. To request tutoring, contact the guidance office.

Honor Roll
There are two honor rolls in the Middle School. to qualify, a student must achieve a grade point average (GPA) of 3.25 or better for Honors Status. Students who receive a GPA of 3.855 or better will be placed on the Distinguished Honor Roll. Receiving a 73% or lower in any subject will disqualify a pupil from consideration for honors recognition. Listed below are the grade percentages with their honor points:

Report Cards
Report cards are issued four times per year. The grades reflect the student's work in their respective classes. Students will receive grades each marking period in language arts, reading, social studies, science, and mathematics. Physical education, band, chorus, and the gifted program will be graded during the second and fourth marking periods. Students will receive grades for each encore course for the semester they are taking it.

The first three quarterly reports are sent home with the student in an envelope. The envelope needs to be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to school within three days. Failure to do so may result in a disciplinary action. The final report card is mailed to students at the end of the school year.
