Grading Scale, Honor Roll, Progress Reports

Grading Scale

The reporting system at Schaumburg Christian School is designed to give parents and students an indication of the progress which is being made.

Preschool—Kindergarten

• See an example of the Three-year Preschool Grade Report.
• See an example of the Four-year Preschool Grade Report.
• See an example of the Kindergarten Grade Report.

Elementary, Junior High, and High School

In the elementary through high school, students are evaluated in both their academic subjects and  their conduct. Academic grades are based on the quality and accuracy of homework, quizzes, tests, exams, projects, etc. The citizenship/conduct grade represents the student's behavior and the degree of cooperation and effort displayed.

Academic Grading Scale:

Conduct Grading Scale

Students may consult their teachers about their course progress at any time

• A: indicates that a student is doing work consistent with his ability level, completes work on time, and is no particular discipline problem in the classroom.
• B: indicates that a student is working somewhat below his ability level, has some inconsistency in completing assignments, or is developing disciplinary problems in the classroom.
• C: indicates that a student is doing less that is expected of him, is often inconsistent in completing assignments, or is a discipline problem in the classroom.
• D: indicates that a student is doing far below his ability level, does not complete assignments on time, or is a regular discipline problem in the classroom.  Any student who received a "D" will be placed on probation.
• F: indicates that a student is making little or no effort in the classroom, has a pattern of not completing assignments, or is consistently a discipline problem and/or a disruption in the classroom. Any student who receives an "F" will come under a review process for potential dismissal from school.

Honor Roll

An honor roll is compiled each nine-week grading period and is made up of the following:

• "A" Honor Roll - Students who have made all "A's" or "A-‘s" with no unsatisfactory conduct grades.
• "B" Honor Roll - Students who have made a "B" average with no unsatisfactory conduct grades.

Incomplete grades on a report card not made up the time the Honor Roll list is due automatically disqualify that student from the Honor Roll for the grading period

Progress Reports

Student progress reports will go out eight times a year at three-week intervals.  Every student will receive a progress report after the first three weeks of school.  During the remainder of the year a progress report will be sent home only in cases where the student is currently earning a "D" or "F," the student earned a "D" or "F" on the previous report card, the child is a disciplinary problem in class, or the child's grade went down more than one letter grade. Progress reports are to be signed by the parents and returned to the teacher within one day.
