GRADING POLICY Assessment (Tests/Quizzes/Projects) – 70% 1 test = 2 quizzes Homework – 20% Class Performance – 10% Effort Compliance Behavior Cooperation Participation

5 TH & 6 TH GRADE GRADING COMPARISON 5 th Grade 50% - Assessments 20% - Homework 20% - Classwork 10% - Effort 6 th Grade 70% - Assessments 20% - Homework 10% - Class Performance

Example: Example: Suppose a student performed exactly the same in 5 th and 6 th grade. Let’s see how the grade weighting affects the students average! 5 TH & 6 TH GRADE GRADING COMPARISON 5 th Grade: Homework: 100% Classwork: 100% Effort: 100% Test Grades: Test Average of th Grade Final Avg: 100 x.20 = x.10 = x.50 = Final Grade: or 90% 6 th Grade: Homework: 100% Class Performance: 100% Test Grades: Test Average of th Grade Final Avg: 100 x.20 = x.10 = x.70 = Final Grade: or 86%
