Social Studies grades are averaged based on a point system.  The value of each individual assignment will vary depending on the content material, difficulty level, and amount of work required. The final percentage grade will be determined using the following formula: 

 

(total points earned/total points possible) x 100 = Final Percentage

 

The number of total points offered in a marking period depends upon the number of graded assignments and their point values. Here are the assessment point-value ranges:

Homework: 3-10 points
Quizzes: 10–40 points
Classwork: 20-60 points
Anchor Assignments: 70-100 points

The student’s grade (percent form) is calculated by dividing the student’s total EARNED points by the total POSSIBLE points and multiplying by 100. See the example below.

1.) 189 / 200 = 0.945
2.) 0.945 x 100 = 94.5%
3.) 94.5% = A

 

The grading scale is as follows:

 

97% - 100% = A+

93% - 96% = A

90% - 92% = A-

87% - 89% = B+

83% - 86% = B

80% - 82% = B-

77% - 79% = C+

73% - 76% = C

70% - 72% = C-

60% - 69% = D

59% or Below = F
