Semester Grades
A standardized grading policy is adopted by Lancaster High School and is assigned to various aspects of classroom performance. Extra credit for activities such as folders, oral/written reports, or other projects is allowed for all students within each set weight. Grade weight parameters are:
Test or Major Assignment | 40% of 6-weeks grade |
|---|---|
Classwork | 50% of 6-weeks grade |
Homework or Minor Assignment | 10% of 6-weeks grade |
Students will receive a minimum of 12 grades every grading period
Semester grades are awarded using an average of the first six-weeks period (75%) and the semester exam(25%).
Numerical grades will be issued in all courses. Grade ranges are as follows:
A | 90-100 |
|---|---|
B | 80-89 |
C | 70-79 |
I | Incomplete (Work must be made up or “I” becomes a 50) |
Failing | below 70 |
Students have one (1) day for every day absent, upon returning to school to complete work for removal of an incomplete due to excused absence. Extenuating circumstances will be determined by the campus principal.
Numerical grades must be given for students withdrawing from the District. These grades will be calculated based on the work completed by the student to the date of withdrawal.
Teacher will assign a minimum number of assignments per the LHS Grading System.
