Bill would keep school performance grades on 15-point scale
The North Carolina General Assembly is considering a bill that would make permanent the grading scale used in state public schools.
Posted — UpdatedRALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina General Assembly is considering a bill that would make permanent the grading scale used to grade the performance of state public schools.
The state has been using a 15-point grading scale to rate schools for several years, but the scale is set to revert back to a 10-point scale at the end of this school year if no action is taken.
House Bill 145 would ensure the current scale remains in place:
- A: 100 to 85 percent
- B: 84 to 70 percent
- C: 69 to 55 percent
- D: 54 to 40 percent
- F: Anything below 40 percent
Editor's Note: This new scale applies to the grades schools receive based on performance. It would not change the scale used to grade students.
