The 1/3 Rule
Fire Drill The sound of a siren/bell means that a fire is ongoing
and all occupants of the building are to immediately
The 1/3 rule refers to section III.3.1 of the Revised Guidelines on Promotion
and Dismissal of PSHS Students, which reads “A scholar may be
recommended for probationary status in the incoming year if he receives
final grades of 2.75 or 3.00 in 2 or more subjects but not to exceed 1/3 of
the total units enrolled in the current year”. Section 4.a which reads “A
scholar may be recommended for dismissal if he receives grades lower than
2.5 in more than 1/3 of total units enrolled in the current year”refers to the
same rule. Since the number of units always comes in increments of 0.5, the
computation of the 1/3 of the total units should also end up in increments
of 0.5. The general mathematical rounding off principle, however, is not
applied. Rather, the rounding off should always be in favor of the child.
The 1/3 of the total number of units enrolled in shall be rounded up to the
nearest number 0.5.
The rounded up equivalents are shown below:

is ongoing and the level of ground shaking prevents

1/3 of 10 units = 3.333 ≈ 3.5 units
1/3 of 10.5 units = 3.5 units
1/3 of 11 units = 3.666 ≈ 4 units
1/3 of 11.5 units = 3.833 ≈ 4 units
1/3 of 12 units = 4 units (fourth year)
1/3 of 12.5 units = 4.166 ≈ 4.5 units (fourthyear)
1/3 of 13 units = 4.333 ≈ 4.5 units
1/3 of 13.5 units = 4.5 units (firstyear)
1/3 of 14 units = 4.666 ≈ 5 units (secondyear)
1/3 of 14.5 units = 4.833 ≈ 5 units
1/3 of 15 units = 5 units
For example:
Student A: 2.75 in 2 subjects or 4 units: if total units is 12, student is on
probationary status.
Student B: 2.75 in 3 subjects or 5 units; if total units is 12.5, student is
recommended for dismissal.
Student C: 2.75 in 3 subjects or 5 units; if total units is 14, student is on
probationary status.
