percent of the school year per course and has not demonstrated mastery, by passing
the fourth nine-week marking period or by earning a Level 3, 4,or 5 on the
corresponding EOC. If the student earns a Level 3 or higher on the EOC Assessment,
course credit may be awarded with a grade of “T”. However, the final grade of “F” will
remain on the student’s transcript and will be calculated in the cumulative GPA/HPA.
 For the purpose of grade calculation, a grade of “N” will result in a semester grade of
“F” for non-EOC courses and final year-long grade of “F” for EOC courses.

Grade of “M”: Valid Missing Work
High School: Grades are not required for a student who enters a class within the last three
weeks of the second or fourth marking period, but enrollment during this time should not
preclude a student from earning semester grades if appropriate. With the principal’s
23
permission, a grade of “M” may be recorded on the report card for a student who has not
been enrolled a sufficient number of days to be evaluated. All effort should be made to
allow the student to complete a sufficient number of assignments in order to earn a grade
for each course in which he/she is enrolled. Prior enrollment in school should be taken into
consideration when recording a grade of “M” for the semester. The principal/designee can
make an exception and award grades of “M” for a student who enrolls prior to the last 3
weeks of the semester.

Middle School: A grade of “M” may be recorded for students who transfer in without
grades. All effort should be made to obtain the grades from the previous school. A grade
of “M” should not be used for schedule changes. When a grade of “M” is used, the final
grade calculation is based on the remaining marking period grades.

Grade of “I”: Incomplete
An “I” (Incomplete) in any marking period, unless changed, remains on the report card
and the final semester average will compute to an “F”. All effort should be made to allow
the student to complete assignments in order to earn a grade for each course in which
he/she is enrolled.

Grade of “P”: Pass
The grade of “P” (Pass) is used when validating/granting transfer credit for coursework
when an official transcript or grades that equate to those used in Palm Beach County
cannot be obtained. It is also used when “P” is specified on an official transcript. A grade
of “P” is a transcripts grade only, not a report card grade. It results in credit for
coursework, but does not affect the GPA. A grade of “P” is also awarded for middle
school courses to show course recovery status was awarded by passing the corresponding
statewide standardized assessment.

23 The “M” is for report card purposes only and does not appear on the final student transcripts. “M” does not compute as an
“F” and does not provide credit.
