Grove School Renewal Charter FINAL Version - 2019

and take time to review individual work, not just focusing on summarizing months or an entire
year of work with a simple letter grade.
Exceptional (EP) = work that is truly uncommon and an exception to the norm, when a student
goes far above the standard level of work (for themselves and their grade level). We hope
students will strive to find one or two topics and work each trimester in each class that interest
them enough to put the uncommon effort and attention into the work.
Proficient (PR) = work that demonstrates the standard level of skill or knowledge for
themselves and their grade. This will be the most commonly used mark and will act as a simple
check for some of the work by students.
Below Proficient (BP) = work that demonstrates a student is below the standard level for
themselves and/or their grade level.
Not Completed (NC) = when the teacher has no record of the student’s work.
The following scale will be used when determining grades for 9th through 12th grade
students:
Mark % GPA* Mark % GPA* *Add one point for Honors and Advanced
Placement Classes
A+ 98-100 4.0 C+ 77-79 2.3
**Credit only for students with an IEP or 504 plans.
A 93-97 4.0 C 73-77 2.0
A- 90-92 3.6 C- 70-72 1.6
B+ 87-89 3.3 D+** 67-69 1.3
B 83-86 3.0 D** 63-66 1.0
B- 80-82 2.6 D-** 60-62 0.6
Competency Review
Teachers will finalize their grade reports at the end of each trimester and students will receive a
report card and credits earned. These reports will become part of the student’s permanent record
and used to determine a student’s placement on academic probation, if applicable.
Please see Appendix L for a sample transcript, trimester grade report, and progress report.
