Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > Grade Reporting Tables > Num Grade Avg Operator/Value
This tab allows you to set up adjustments that are made to grades when numeric averages are computed to determine class rank.
For cumulative grade averaging, a high school that includes courses taken at the middle school for high school credit must have a common grade average (GA) table code for both the middle school and the high school. Both schools must use the same table code in the GA Table field on Maintenance > Master Schedule > District Schedule.
Example:
If a middle school teaches high school Algebra I for credit, it must select the same district course that the high school uses.
The district course’s GA table code for Algebra I could be set to J. The middle school can make this a weighted course, since the students are taking a higher level course. The high school can make it a non-weighted course for the high school students taking Algebra I.
The type of grade averaging tables used does not have to be the same for both campuses. Not using the same type of grade averaging tables is only an issue when running current year grade averaging for credit level H courses taken at the middle school.

You can re-sort the grid by clicking on an underlined column heading. It will sort in ascending order. Click it again to sort in descending order.
A triangle next to the column heading indicates the column by which the grid is currently sorted and whether it is sorted in ascending
or descending
order.
Click +Add to add grade conversion data. A blank row is displayed in the grid.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Type |
Select the code for the type of courses to which the table applies. The codes are established on Maintenance > Tables > Course Type. |
| Operator |
Select the mathematical operation to be applied to the grades in the grade range for the course type.
NOTE: Per the Office of Civil Rights (Letter to Runkel, 1996), special ed courses cannot be discounted in grade averaging. |
| Value |
Type the number by which the grades are to be adjusted according the selected operator. |
| Low Grade |
Type the lowest value of the numeric grade range for the alpha grade. |
| High Grade |
Type the highest value of the numeric grade range for the alpha grade. This value is used when computing grade averages. |
If a gap exists between grades, and a student has a cycle grade that falls in the gap, the student's grade is calculated at face value. No points are added or subtracted.
