I can't wait till they take the SOL EXAMS...
MS.King is going to be like "IT was because of the snow days".....
But then ALL other school will have good scores.
I think Ms.King is a nice lady, nice principal, but she should work at an Elementary school where EVERYONE PASSES.........
Ms.King I would love you again if you changed the grading system from 53-63 F to 0-63= F

I think it say to say 75% of Ds, and 50% of D+S and 20% of D+'s grade would of been F's if they keep the same system? SO This is
without socialism grades?

What's with the obsession with MVHS and their F policy? I've seen this posted about more than once on this board. Most FCPS schools have gone to a no zero policy. It's county wide.

I graduate Last year, and she changed the final grades from Average calculation too Quality points which boots my final grades by a level grade. I think she has a no zero policy because they still had way too many F's at the end of the school year. I am not sure I am waiting for a FOIA report from last year 2nd quarter grades so we can see the difference from then and now. Like I said I respect the principal but I wish she would go back to 0-63 and grades and calculate final grades from Average Calculation and not Quality total points.

but the lowest for an F is 53% so if you scored a 2/10 for example, that still goes down as a 53% so there's no difference.

But that would be a 53% F now the other way will be 20% F
lets say he gets 2 more assignments
7/10 and 7/10
16/30 =53%F the old grading system
19.3/30 64.4 D the new system. now understand how it changes when you add more assessments? I wouldn't mind if at the end of the marking period the lowest score a student can earn was a 53% F but not every single assignment
example end of quarter students has 40%F changed it to 53%F im ok with that. but not ok with the way they are doing it
