New Grading Scale
Posted on 08.05.09 by Mychael
The Calvary Academy School Board has approved changes to the grading scale and the method for calculating GPA at Calvary Academy. College and universities review students’ letter grades and GPAs when evalutating applications for admission and awarding competitive academic scholarships. However, Calvary Academy has not used the the same grading scale as is now used by most schools. For example, a student with a 92 in geometry would receive an “A” where a student at Calvary Academy would receive a “B”.
The School Board further voted to make the new grading scale retroactive for any student currently in high school. This means that students who are currently in Calvary Academy will have their grades and GPAs recalculated for their entire high school career. This only applies to grades and that were earned at Calvary Academy, not those that transfer students received from their previous schools.
