Lexington 05 Grade Scale
Lexington 05 uses a standard grading scale to evaluate student performance. The following table outlines the letter grades and their corresponding percentage ranges:
| Letter Grade | Percentage Range |

| B | 80 – 89 |
| C | 70 – 79 |

Additionally, there is a weighted grading scale for Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses:
| Course Type | A (90-100) | B (80-89) | C (70-79) | D (60-69) | F (0-59) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honors | 4.5 | 3.5 | 2.5 | 1.5 | 0.0 |
| AP | 5.0 | 4.0 | 3.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 |
Example
To illustrate how final grades are calculated, let’s consider a student in an Honors course with the following scores:
Final Grade Calculation:
- Homework: 85% x 10% = 8.5
- Midterm Exam: 78% x 30% = 23.4
- Final Project: 92% x 20% = 18.4
- Final Exam: 88% x 40% = 35.2
Add these values together: 8.5 + 23.4 + 18.4 + 35.2 = 85.6%
In the weighted scale for Honors courses, this final percentage translates to a B+.
