Marking System

Loudonville Christian School uses the five-letter scale as follows:

In the fifth through twelfth grades numerical grades are given. Grades are given for all classes, including electives, in grades seven through twelve.

Comprehensive final examinations will be given in all academic courses in the secondary school (grades 7-12). The examination score comprises 20% of the course average. The following applies to specific circumstances related to the administration and/or nature of final examinations:

1. Students in the secondary school (grade 7-12) are to attend the final exam week.
    
2. In courses for which there is a Regents exam, a practice test will be administered during final exam week and count toward the fourth quarter grade.
    
3. In courses for which there is a Regents exam, the Regents will be taken by all enrolled students and will count as the final exam. When a student retakes a Regents exam, by choice or as required due to failure (see below), only the highest of the exam scores will be recorded on the student’s official transcript. This score will be used to calculate the course average and the student’s overall grade point average.
    
4. In Advanced Placement courses, the AP examination will be administered on the designated day and a teacher-generated cumulative final exam will be given soon thereafter. Another test will be given during final exam week and will cover the material taught subsequent to the cumulative exam and will count as a unit exam.
    
5. No final examination will be given for the Senior Bible or English courses due to the nature of these courses.

The final average in all courses that are exclusively accelerated will be increased by 8% as the student is working above grade level and the demands and expectations of these courses exceed those of grade level courses. The high school transcripts will show both weighted and non-weighted grade point averages.
