[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at it and it isn't great.  I'm not sure if it is out of line with other districts.
Previously they gave numerical grades for the quarter grades and then averaged those for the final grade.  So if a student had a 81,81,71,71 for the 4 quarters they would end up with an average grade of 76 and a C.  
New policy is letter grades for each quarter which are then averaged so that kid would have a B, B, C, C and end up with a B at the end of the year.  This could really impact the kids at the top of the class who are in the running for valedictorian etc.

Do they have valedictorians these days in PG?[/quote]
Yes.  Why wouldn’t they?
There are some amazing students in the county.

Lots of school districts don’t rank anymore so no valedictorian.[/quote]
