Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Tables > Elementary > Elem Grade
This tab allows you to set grade calculation options by grade level.
If you are including the exam grade, the following formula is used to calculate the semester average:
( ( (Cycle 1 + Cycle 2 + Cycle 3) / 3 x (Total Weight - Exam Weight) ) + (Exam Grade x Exam Weight) ) / Total Weight
If you are not including the exam grade, the following formula is used to calculate the semester average:
(Cycle 1 + Cycle 2 + Cycle 3) / 3
• If you are not computing the semester average, the following formula is used to calculate the final grade:
(Cycle 1 + Cycle 2 + Cycle 3 + Cycle 4 + Cycle 5 + Cycle 6) / 6
• If you are computing the semester average, the following formula is used to calculate the final grade:
(Semester 1 + Semester 2) / 2
If grade calculation data already exists, the data is displayed.
❏ Click +Add to add grade calculation data.
A blank row is added to the grid.
Grd Lvl |
Select the grade level to which the grade calculation settings apply. |
---|---|
Elem Grd |
Select if elementary grade reporting is used for the selected grade level. If blank, grade averaging and class ranking is used for elementary students. |
Comp Sem Avg |
Select if the system computes the semester average for the grade level. |
Comp Cum Avg |
Select if the system computes the cumulative year-to-date (YTD) average for students. If selected, the YTD average is calculated with cycle grades until the end of the school year. At the end of the school year, the final grade can be calculated in one of two ways:
• If you are not computing the semester average, the following formula is used to calculate the final grade: (Cycle 1 + Cycle 2 + Cycle 3 + Cycle 4 + Cycle 5 + Cycle 6) / 6
• If you are computing the semester average, the following formula is used to calculate the final grade: (Semester 1 + Semester 2) / 2
• If there is only one cycle grade and the Grade Computation - Elementary utility is run, no calculations are performed. |
Incl Exam |
Select if you want to include the exam grade in the semester average and display the Exam column in TeacherPortal. If selected, you must indicate the weight of the exam in the semester average in the Exam Wgt and Tot Wgt fields to calculate the weighing percentage. IMPORTANT: If selected, you must also select Include Exam in Semester Average on Maintenance > Tables > Campus Control Options > Computation. |
Exam Wgt |
Type the two-digit number indicating the weight assigned to the exam grade when calculating the semester average for the grade level. |
Tot Wgt |
Type the three-digit number indicating the total weight to use to calculate the semester average. |
❏ Click Save.
