Grading Policy (Board Policy D10.01)

Students are awarded semester grades according to the official Peruvian grading system. The following translation will be used for reporting work to colleges and universities in the U.S.A.

Grade points are used for determining grade point average (GPA) each semester and class rank in grades 11 and 12. Both Peruvian and U.S. grading systems are used on quarterly report cards. When there are questions regarding individual grades, the respective teacher should be contacted. If, after talking with the teacher, questions remain or there is dissatisfaction with the decision, the principal should be consulted.

Pass/Fail

Certain courses, with permission of the principal, may be taken on a "Pass/Fail" basis. The appropriate request form must be completed in the Guidance Office. Credit is awarded when course requirements for both quarters are fulfilled, but no grade is entered for computing GPAs. Failing grades in the 1st or 3rd quarters will be recorded as an "Incomplete", and students will be expected to make up any missing requirements.

Incompletes

Incomplete work at the end of the grading period or semester will be recorded as an "INC" or an "F" after consultation with the principal. An "INC" shall be assigned only when a student has missed a significant portion of the grading period due to illness or emergency as excused by the principal, and only after a plan to complete the missed work has been arranged with the teacher. The student must arrange to make up incomplete work within the first two weeks of the new grading period. Failure of the student to meet the make-up plan will result in the "INC" changing to an "F".
