Gaston County Schools uses a 10-point grading scale for students in grades 3-12.
The 10-point grading scale is listed below
A 90-100
B 89-80
C 79-70
D 60-69
F Below 60
The nine weeks grade shall be determined by counting tests (major projects, major papers, etc.) 60 percent, quizzes 20 percent and, daily/class grades and/or homework 20 percent.
Each nine weeks grade shall be made up of a minimum of two (3) major test grades (may include major projects, essays, research papers, performances) which shall count 60 percent of the grade. A minimum of four (6) quizzes (only covers part of a unit of study or a specific step in a project or performance) which shall count 20 percent of the grade. Finally, a minimum of six (9) daily/class and/or homework grades (may include warm-ups or bell work) which shall count 20 percent of the grade. Exceptions to this shall be made for all non-core classes except foreign language.
Any student who makes below an 75 is eligible to re-test. The highest grade a student may make on a re-test is 75. If the re-test grade is lower than the original test grade, the student shall receive the higher of the two grades.
