Klein ISD Grade Scale
Klein Independent School District uses a standards-based grading system to evaluate student performance. The grading scale is designed to reflect students’ mastery of course content and skills.
- Grades K-5:
- E = Excellent (90-100)
- S = Satisfactory (80-89)
- N = Needs Improvement (70-79)
- U = Unsatisfactory (below 70)
- Grades 6-12:
- A = 90-100
- B = 80-89
- C = 70-79
- F = below 70
Example
To calculate a final grade, Klein ISD uses a weighted average approach. Here is an example of how this works:
| Assignment | Grade | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Homework | 85 | 20% |
| Quizzes | 90 | 30% |
| Midterm Exam | 88 | 25% |
| Final Project | 92 | 25% |
Final Grade Calculation:
(85 * 0.2) + (90 * 0.3) + (88 * 0.25) + (92 * 0.25) = 89.25
Final Grade: B
