How your student's grade is calculated

Our first Q1 assessment is coming up. Every course grade is built from three parts: practice, assessments, and the end of quarter assessment. How much each part counts depends on the level of the course.

The weights at a glance

Course level	Practice	Assessments	End of quarter
Foundational	35%	45%	20%
Elective / Upper Class	30%	45%	25%
AP / Post Graduate	20%	50%	30%

As courses become more advanced, practice counts for less and assessments count for more. Assessments carry the largest share at every level.

How the end of quarter exams count

Four exams are given during the year. Together they make up six equal parts. The Q1 and Q3 exams are 1 part each. The midterm and the final are 2 parts each, so they count double.

Move the sliders to try some scores. The same scores give a slightly different final grade at each level, because each part counts for a different share.

End of quarter assessment

Each final grade is practice, assessments and end of quarter scores multiplied by their weights, then added together.
