Denton ISD Grade Scale
In each course, students are assessed using a percentage scale. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
- A (90-100%): Excellent
- B (80-89%): Good
- C (70-79%): Satisfactory
- F (Below 70%): Failing
For example, if a student receives the following grades in a semester:
| Assignment | Grade (%) |
|---|---|
| Homework | 85 |
| Quiz | 78 |
| Project | 92 |
| Exam | 88 |
To calculate the final grade, follow these steps:
- Convert each grade to a percentage.
- Add all the percentages together.
- Divide the total by the number of grades.
For example, if a student receives grades of 85%, 78%, 92%, and 88%, you would add these percentages together (85 + 78 + 92 + 88 = 343). Then, divide the total by the number of grades (343 / 4), which equals 85.75%.
Final Grade: 85.75% (B)
