[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the grading scale in FCPS? In Catholic school, it is 93-100 A, 85-92 B, 75-84 C, 68-74 B, 69 and below is failing. My DS has to do corrections on his tests/quizzes for homework but there are no retakes and no chance to improve the grade. Much different than my friends and neighbors whose kids goes to public school.[/quote]

FCPS has that same grading scale.  Retakes don't give full credit and all teachers don't use them, but the most common policy I have seen among those that have them is if you get below 80% you can retake the test, but the maximum you can be awarded is 80%. So it's mainly a policy to 1) help students learn the material they really didn't get and 2) don't let 1 bad test totally tank an otherwise good course grade.  I've yet to see a teacher that allows retakes of tests for full credit and my kid is a senior. [/quote]
