Secondary Grading Guidance

November 2, 2022

Grades for students in secondary schools have a significant impact and are high-stakes as they affect access to a post-secondary education, career, and future quality of life. Additionally, middle school grades impact equitable course placement and high school enrollment opportunities for advanced courses and earning college credits prior to graduation. In high schools, student grades heavily inform graduation, scholarships, and post-secondary program admissions.

These guidelines are derived and modified from PPSD Board Policy.
