Manatee Grade Scale
Manatee School District uses a standard grading scale to evaluate student performance. The grading scale is as follows:
| Percentage | Grade | GPA Value |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100% | A | 4.0 |
| 80-89% | B | 3.0 |
| 70-79% | C | 2.0 |
| 60-69% | D | 1.0 |
| 0-59% | F | 0.0 |
This grading scale is used to determine students’ final grades in each course.
Example
To calculate the final grade, let’s use the following example:
| Assignment | Weight | Grade | Weighted Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homework | 20% | 85% | 0.20 * 85 = 17 |
| Quizzes | 30% | 78% | 0.30 * 78 = 23.4 |
| Midterm Exam | 25% | 92% | 0.25 * 92 = 23 |
| Final Exam | 25% | 88% | 0.25 * 88 = 22 |
Total Weighted Grade = 85.4
The final grade in this example is 85.4, which corresponds to a B.
