CHANGES
This year, Lexington Local Schools adopted a new grading scale. Instead of 92 being the lowest A, now a 90 is the lowest A! Previously, we did not use +/- in calculating grades. With the new grading scale you will now see +/- on grade cards. Some of the language in the student handbook is outdated and I want to make sure everyone has current information!

Computing Final Grades for Year-Long
Courses
Final grades
for all year-long courses will be determined by using six grades.
- A student must meet the minimum requirements to pass a course (see below).
- Letter grades for each 6 week grading period will be given the numerical value listed above.
- Add the numerical values of the letter grades together and divide by six to determine your numerical point average. Your numerical point average will then determine your final grade using the Final Grade Numerical Point Range for Year Long Courses.

Computing Final Grades for Semester Courses
Final grades
for all semester courses will be determined by using three grades.
- A student must meet the minimum requirements to pass a course (see below).
- Letter grades for each 6 week grading period will be given the numerical value listed above.
- Add the numerical values of the letter grades together and divide by three to determine your numerical point average. Your numerical point average will then determine your final grade using the Final Grade Numerical Point Range for Semester Courses.

LEXINGTON JUNIOR HIGH
Minimum Grades Required to Pass Any Course
To pass any full year course:
1)
At least three (3) points must be earned for the
entire year, and
2)
At least two (2) points must be earned the
second semester.
To pass any semester course:
A passing grade must be earned
in at least two of the three marking periods.
Points are earned using the following scale:
A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 point
F = 0 points
Examples:
DFF DDF = D FDF FDD =
D
DDD FDF = F FFF DDD =
D
FFF DDF = F FFF FDC
= D
DFD DFF = F DFF FCF
= D
AAA DFF = F FFD DDF
= D
NOTICE: Lexington High School standards are more rigid than
these. Five points are required, at least three the second semester, to pass
full year high school courses.
