Grading Policies
Grading Scale/GPA
Grading Scale/GPA:
Eastview teachers use a traditional grading scale to determine end-term grades. Student grade point average is determined by calculating the average of all quarter grades earned. All courses are included except those for which a P (Pass), NC (No Credit) or NG (No Grade) is assigned. There are no weighted grades in the grade point average calculation (per district policy).
A | 4.0 |
A- | 3.7 |
B+ | 3.3 |
B | 3.0 |
B- | 2.7 |
C+ | 2.3 |
C | 2.0 |
C- | 1.7 |
D+ | 1.3 |
D | 1.0 |
D- | 0.7 |
F | 0 |
P/Pass | Not calculated |
NC/No Credit | Not calculated |
NG/No Grade | Not calculated |
I+ | In Progress |
Pass/Grade Option
Pass/Grade Option:
Students may take one .75-credit course each quarter (for a total of 3 credits per year) on a “Pass/Grade” basis. This option is to encourage students to explore interests in a subject and challenge themselves without the risk of receiving a low grade that will negatively impact their cumulative GPA.
Students must talk with their teacher, counselor and parent/guardian and submit the online form by the Friday of mid-term week (Q1 = Oct 3, Q2 = Dec 13, Q3 = Feb 28, Q4 = May 9). Upon completion of the course, students may choose between P/Grade earned at end of the term if they earn 60% or higher in the course (default will be to post grade earned unless a student requests the P; it is the student's responsibility to request a P if desired). A failing grade (below 60%) will result in an F. Students must complete all major assessments/assignments and engage in daily learning activities to be eligible for the P option.
**Students must select only ONE course per term when completing the application form - requests for multiple courses will not be considered.
Please read each bullet point carefully:
- In order to choose the Pass (P) option, students are expected to take all major assessments and engage in daily class work and learning activities throughout the entire quarter.
- At the end of the quarter, students may elect to take either the letter grade earned or the Pass (P) option.
- A Pass (P) will NOT be averaged into a student's GPA.
- A Pass (P) in a Honors or AP class will make it ineligible for inclusion in a student's honors designation courses and may result in the loss of an honors designation upon graduation.
- Removal from a course or dropping a course after the deadline (Q1 = Oct 3, Q2 = Dec 13, Q3 = Feb 28, Q4 = May 9) will result in an F for the course; students will be assigned to a study hall for the remainder of the quarter.
- The NCAA will recognize a Pass (P) as a "D-" grade in any core academic class when determining academic eligibility.
- A failing grade (below 60%) will result in an F.
