Grading Procedures:
The qualitative element used to determine academic progress is a reasonable system of grades as determined by assigned academic learning. Students are assigned academic learning and a minimum number of practical experiences. Academic learning is evaluated after each unit of study. Practical assignments are evaluated as completed and counted toward course completion only when rated as satisfactory or better. If the performance does not meet satisfactory requirements, it is not counted and the performance must be repeated. At least two comprehensive practical skills evaluations will be conducted during the course of study. Practical skills are evaluated according to text procedures and set forth in practical skills evaluation criteria adopted by the school. Practical grading is non-subjective and will be based on a Yes/No grading system to determine if the student earns all or none of the total possible points. Students must make up failed or missed tests and incomplete assignments. Students are evaluated on the following grade scale:
Letter Grade Range
A - Excellent 90-100
B - Above Average 80-89
C - Average 75-79
F - Below Satisfactory 0-74
