Grading

Progress Reports

DeKalb County uses the semester system for grade reporting.
You will receive progress reports at 4 ½, 9, 13 ½ week intervals and report cards will be issued at 18 weeks (end of each semester). This is a means to communicate the student's progress in every subject.

The following rating scale is used:

E - Excellent
S - Satisfactory
N - Needs Improvement
U - Unsatisfactory
X - No evaluation

Progress reports are at 4 ½ week intervals in order to provide ample time for the parent and the teacher to work with the child to ensure progress.

Report Cards

At the end of each 18- week semester, you will receive reports about your child's growth and development during that semester. The grade reported at the end of the semester is a cumulative grade for the entire semester. The rating scale of grades used on the report card is as follows:

A - 90-100      B - 80-89      C - 71-79      D - 70      F - Below 70 (failing)

Music, Physical Education, and Creative Enrichment Learning Lab will be rated on the E/S/N/U/X scale as described for Progress Reports.
