Grading
Grades are divided into major and minor assessments. Major assessments are tests and projects; minor assessments are quizzes, homework, and class participation.
The exact breakdown is as follows:
- Major assessments: 50%
- Tests
- Projects
- Minor assessments: 50%
- Homework
- Classwork
- Participation
- Quizzes (Count twice)
Projects are comprised primarily of written compositions that undergo revision of some sort or require extensive preparation. Included in this would be book reports, essays, research, and similar.
The participation grade consists primarily of two things: coming to class prepared and being able to conduct oneself in class as an adult. (Please see the rubric for more details.)
The actual grade/percentage breakdown is, as it is school wide, as follows:
| A | 90-100 |
| B | 80-89 |
| C | 70-79 |
| D | 60-69 |
| F | 50-59 |
Please note that there is a 50-point floor for Greenville County Schools.
