METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE FINAL AVERAGES FOR YEAR LONG AND SEMESTER COURSES
1. Assign final averages as follows:
Grade Points
A = (90% - 100%) 4.0 3.5
B = (80% - 89%) 3.4 2.5
C = (70% - 79%) 2.4 1.5
D = (60%) - 69%) 1.4 1.0
F = (59% and below) 0
2. Assign points to each nine weeks grade and the final exam as follows:
Grade Points
A = (90% - 100%) 4
B = (80% - 89%) 3
C = (70% - 79%) 2
D = (60%) - 69%) 1
F = (59% and below) 0
3. Average the grades as follows:
Year long courses are computed by doubling the quarterly grade points and adding the final exam grade points. Divide the total points by 9. The chart below is a simplified method for determining the final average:
Total Points Earned Grade Earned
32 36 A
23 31 B
14 22 C
9 13 D
0 8 F
Examples for Full Year, Quarter and Final Grades
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Final Exam
B (3x2) + A (4x2) + B (3x2) + A(4x2) + C (2x1) = 30 points/9 = 3.3 = B
6 8 6 8 2
Semester grades are computed by multiplying the quarterly grade points by 4, and adding the final exam grade points. Divide all points by 9 to obtain the final semester grade.
Total Points Earned Grade Earned

23 31 B

Example for Semester, Quarter and Final Grades

B (3x4) + A (4x4) C (2x1) = 30 points /9 = 3.3 = B12 16 2
Additional Notes:
1. If a student fails to obtain the minimum points necessary for a passing final average to earn one full credit, for credit purposes the course shall be divided into two semesters; a final average shall be computed for each semester using the procedure for averaging semester grades. The final examination grade shall be counted as the final examination grade for each semester.
2. Each teacher arrives at a nine weeks grade using professional judgment, tests, assignments and other criteria resulting from the course objectives.
3. A mandatory final examination shall be given to all students and shall count as 1/9th .
4. A student enrolled in the Duval County Public School system, but who has not enrolled in the sending or receiving school the minimum fifteen (15) days during a grading period, may receive a grade of 0 (No Grade/Insufficient Enrollment) on the report card.
5. For the purpose of grading period grade, students transferring from school to school shall have the withdrawal grades from the previous school averaged with grades by the receiving school
NOTE: Half Credit for One Credit Courses
If a student fails to obtain the minimum points necessary for a passing final average to earn one full credit, for credit purposes the course shall be divided into two one-half credit grading periods (1st and 2nd or 3rd and 4th); a final average shall be computed for each one-half credit grading period using the procedure for averaging one-half credit grades. If a passing average is obtained for either one-half credit grading periods, 1/2 credit shall be awarded.
The final examination grade shall be counted as the final examination grade for each of the one-half credit grading periods.
NOTIFICATION OF PARENTS: Parents will be notified in writing during a grading period when it is apparent that their child may fail or is doing unsatisfactory work that may lead to failure in any course/subject. The parents will be offered an opportunity for a conference with the teacher and or principal/designee.
SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY
1. At the beginning of the school year and at the beginning of the second semester, students will have a window period of seven days to make requests for schedule changes.
2. After the seven-day change request period, action on requests to adjust level of courses (e.g. Chemistry I Honors to Chemistry I standard, American Government Honors to American Government Standard) will be determined by the Assistant Principal for Curriculum following submission of a written request and a student/teacher/parent conference. If teacher and counselor recommend change, it will be completed as follows:
A. Semester course - no later that one week following issuance of the first quarter report card
B. Full year course - no later than one week following issuance of semester report card.
3. At the end of the first semester, students who have not been successful in a full year elective course may drop the course and select a semester course (if space is available). No credit will be assigned for the first semester.
4. Since there is no procedure that will allow all students/parents to select teachers, it is essential that the policy reflect the position that requests for selection of teachers cannot be honored. When a request is received, however, parents should be assured that the administration of the school will work with all individuals to resolve the problem using all appropriate resource personnel (teachers, counselors, deans, Assistant Principal for Curriculum, etc.).
