HCS Grading & Academics
Several aspects considered in grading a student's achievements are: completion of work in meeting course requirements, work habits, attitudes and effort, conduct, and classroom relations.
Grades have lasting meaning beyond the school year since college administrators and prospective employers are often influenced by student grades and attendance reports, as well as by detention records and other special issues that are included on the permanent record.
The grade of “I” is given for incomplete work or work not finished in time when justifiable reasons are given. The grade “I” must be removed within three weeks after it is given, or it will automatically be changed to “F”.
All students who maintain a minimum “B” average for one grading period will be recognized by being placed on the honor roll.
