The first public institution of higher education, this flagship university provides the best return-on-investment among Texas's public schools, with almost 400 degrees.
Contents.Numerical and letter gradesThe typical grades awarded for participation in a course are (from highest to lowest) A, B, C, D and F. Variations on the traditional five-grade system allow for awarding A+, A, & A−; B+, B, & B−; C+, C, & C−; D+, D, & D−, and F (E). In primary and secondary schools, a D is usually the lowest passing grade, however, there are some schools that consider a C the lowest passing grade, so the general standard is that anything below a 60 or 70 is failing, depending on the grading scale. In college and universities, a D is considered to be an unsatisfactory passing grade.
Students will usually still earn credit for the class if they get a D, but sometimes a C or better is required to count some major classes toward a degree, and sometimes a C or better is required to satisfy a prerequisite requirement for a class.Below is the grading system found to be most commonly used in, according to the 2009 High School Transcript Study. This is the most used grading system, however, there are some schools that use an edited version of the college system.Letter GradePercentageGrade Point Average (GPA) (out of 4.0)A90%-100%4.0B80%-89%3.0C70%-79%2.0D60%-69%1.0F. A = 11.
F = 0Very few American high schools use a twelve-point system, which differs from the above only in using the grade A+, to which the value 12.0 is applied.The 1-2-3-4 systemSome school districts use a 1-2-3-4 rating system for grades at the elementary (K–5) level, notably many California school districts including The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) which switched with the class of 2000. The four-point scale more clearly indicates proficiency levels in core subjects by segmenting students who are proficient (4&3) and ready to advance, from those who are not meeting all required standards (2&1) and should not advance. Most notably this removes the 'C' rating which did not clearly partition students who should advance from those who should not.
