The marks used for reporting academic performance, work/study habits and social behavioral skills in middle school are as follows:

• A — 4.0 — Superior
• B+ — 3.5   
• B — 3.0   
• C+ — 2.5   
• C — 2.0
• D+ — 1.5
• D — 1.0 — Passing
• F — 0.0 — Failing
• Incomplete — Inc
• Commendable — Com
• Satisfactory — S
• Needs Improvement — N

The preceding marks are expected to be used according to the following guidelines:

1. No other marks than those shown above are to be used on official records or reports.
2. The mark given at the end of each reporting period is considered an evaluation of the pupil’s status at the time (for example, the final mark in a semester course is an evaluation of the pupil’s status as of the close of the semester; not an average of two nine-week marks).
3. Teachers may exercise professional judgment in distributing marks.  Marks are not expected to be distributed on a normal curve.
4. Math intervention, reading courses, work/study habits, and social behavioral skills receive the marks of Commendable (Com), Satisfactory (S), and Needs Improvement (N) instead of letter grades.
