And they didn't address the rounding question. So, probably a semester average of 89.5 will still round up to an A.

It probably depends on the teacher. One class my kid got a 89.7 and it as still a B. Zero consistency.

For the quarter or the semester?

Second, the first one was 89.??? but the teacher had terrible and unreasonable grading practices that made no sense.

Doesn't the system automatically assign the grade for the semester based on the raw percentage?

The system in place through this past year automatically assigned the grade for the marking period (quarter) based on the percentage. Then the semester grade was determined by the two marking period letter grades, per the chart.
