Weighted Grading System

In order to initiate the development of a consistent and comprehensive transcript for the Iredell-Statesville high schools, the input of data must be consistent and explicit. Grades will be submitted each grading period on the traditional grading scale.

A numerical average will be used to determine the following:

A weighted average will be used to determine the following: The grading scale is as follows:
 
96 – 100% = 4.00 95% = 3.88  94% = 3.75 93% = 3.63 92% = 3.50
91% = 3.38 90% = 3.25 89% = 3.13  88% = 3.00 87% = 2.88
86% = 2.75 85% = 2.63 84% = 2.50 83% = 2.38 82% = 2.25
81% = 2.13 80% = 2.00 79% = 1.88 78% = 1.75 77% = 1.63
76% = 1.50 75% = 1.38 74% = 1.25 73% = 1.13 70 – 72% = 1.00
< 69% = 0.00

The weighted calculations are based on 1) academic course level; 2) grading scales; and 3) the weighting of course grades.  One (1) quality point or weight is added to passing grades earned in Advanced/Honor courses and two (2) quality points are added to passing grades earned in Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

The following courses have a weighted value of one (1) quality point:

The following courses have a weighted value of two (2) points:


NOTE: End-of-Grade and End-of-Course Tests will be referred to as EOG and EOC in the remainder of the Curriculum Guide.
