DESCRIPTION AND DEFINITION OF MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADES

The grading system and interpretation of letter grades for all middle and high schools must
comply with the grade scale identified in Florida Statute § 1003.437. These grades are used to
measure student success in courses Grades 6-12.

A (90-100) Outstanding Progress Indicates thorough mastery of the subject

B (80-89) Above Average Progress Indicates above average mastery of the subject

C (70-79) Average Progress Indicates average mastery of the subject

D (60-69) Lowest Acceptable Progress Indicates below average mastery of the subject

F (Below 60) Failure Indicates lack of mastery of the subject
I Incomplete Indicates a problem that causes the student’s work to
be incomplete. For example:
 Student has not been enrolled in a class long enough
to determine a grade.
 Transfer student’s grades from previous school have
not been received.
 Student’s Dual Enrollment grade is delayed.
 Student has not received an EOC grade for a required
EOC course.

All effort should be made to allow a student ample
opportunity to make up work and/or exams in order to
change the grade of “I”.

Grade averages are calculated to two decimal places (with no rounding). When assigning letter
grades, an average with 0.50 or higher must be rounded up (i.e., 79.50 is a “B”, and 79.49 is a
“C”).

NOTE: The letter grades (“N”, “M”, “W”, and “E”) are used for report card purposes only. Unless changed, a grade
of “N “or “I” will cause the semester average to be computed as an “F” on the student transcript.

Grade of “N”: No Credit (Attendance Problem)
Grade of “N”: Grade of “N” is applicable only to students enrolled in high school credit
courses and indicates the student has exceeded the absence limits and has not met course
mastery requirements.

 For courses that do not require an End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment, an “N” (no credit)
is recorded as the semester exam grade when the student has not been in attendance
for at least 90 percent of the semester per course and has not demonstrated mastery,
by passing at least one nine-week marking period and the semester exam.
 For courses that require an EOC Assessment, an “N” (no credit) is recorded as the
fourth nine-weeks grade when the student has not been in attendance for at least 90
