U - Unsatisfactory - Student is consistently unable to demonstrate and apply understanding even with support. Rating *Percentage Range O 90-100 S 70-89 U 0-69 *Note: Any grade 0.5 or higher will round to the next whole number. For half-credit courses, one marking term in length, the marking term grade will count as the final grade for the course. Semester-based Courses (2 marking terms in length) - each marking period grade will count as one-half (½, 50%) of the final grade. If a student earns an E or D in the first term of a semester course, they can have no lower than a D in the final term to earn a passing grade. Full-year courses (4 marking terms in length) - each marking period grade will count one- fourth (1/4, 25%) of the final grade. Earning a D in term 4 does not supersede the requirement for the final grade to calculate to a passing grade If a student earns an E or D average at the end of term 3 for a full year course, they can earn no lower than a D in the final term to earn a passing grade. For courses with End of Course Assessments (EOC), the E or D rule outlined in statements 7 and 8 will not be applied. This applies only to first time 9th grade students during the 2023-2024 school year and subsequent classes taking biology and government courses. 10. When the final grade is an E (failure), students receive no credit for taking that course.
