Grading Policy
Grading Scale
A -- A grade of "A" (90-100%) indicates that the student has demonstrated outstanding progress in the subject and/or the skills area. The student consistently performs academically at a level which is considerably higher than that of the typical student in the same program or course. The student has mastered skills well above those required for successful completion of the instructional program and has demonstrated an understanding of and an ability to utilize the content of the program effectively. An "A" student will have achieved and exceeded all of the instructional objectives and competencies established for the subject/course during the grading period.
B -- A grade of "B" (80-89%) indicates that the student has demonstrated above average but not outstanding progress in the academic area. The student consistently performs at a level above that which is expected of the typical student in the same program or subject. The student has mastered content skills beyond those required for successful completion of the instructional program. The "B" student will be progressing at a rate that will enable him/her to have achieved virtually all of the instructional objectives and competencies established for the subject being graded.
C -- A grade of "C" (70-79%) indicates average progress. The student performs at an average level in terms of mastery of skills/performance standards and/or content of the program. The student's rate of progress permits mastery of more than the minimal instructional objectives and competencies of the program.
D -- A grade of "D" (60-69%) indicates the lowest acceptable progress in the mastery of skills and other course content and indicates that improvement is needed to achieve a satisfactory level of academic performance. The student's rate of progress is such that the minimal instructional objectives and competencies for the program will be mastered.
F -- A grade of "F" (0-59%) indicates failure. Students functioning at this level are not mastering the minimal objectives and competencies required in the regular instructional program.
When a numerical equivalent to an assigned letter grade of "A," "B," "C," "D," "F," or "I" is used, the following apply and shall be communicated to students:
In grades 1-12, when calculating the grade for a semester or annual course, the following grade point averages are to be used:
A=3.50 and above
B=2.50 - 3.49
C=1.50 - 2.49
D=1.00 - 1.49
Jordan Chirisitan Prep provides students with college & career pathways through their many course offerings. Our expectations for all students enrolled in our school is that they achieve academic success, acquire meaningful and marketable skills, utilize technology as an educational means, and attain post-secondary educational experiences. To meet these expectations, all students must adhere to the following:
Maintain a minimum overall unweighted 2.0 grade-point average in core subjects (i.e., English, Math, Science, and Social Studies) at the end of each semester. If the student does not show adequate academic progress and his or her grade-point average falls below a 2.0 during the first semester, a conference will be held with the student, parent, and teacher and/ or administrator to initiate the probation process and develop a plan of action to improve the student’s grades. If the student's grade-point average falls below a 2.0 at the end of the school year, a final conference will be held and the student will be asked to redo a class they might have failed upon the following year.
