Grading Scale for Basic Courses, Grades 2 and up

The School District of Greenville County changed its course grading scale effective school year (2000-01) to comply with new statewide requirements.

Elementary school students will receive a letter grade (A,B,C,D, or U) for each subject based on the new grading scale. Middle and high school students will receive a numeric grade.

The new grading scale will provide consistency across South Carolina. This is especially important for determining high school students' eligibility (based on grade point ratio) for college and for scholarships, including a state LIFE scholarship.

If you have questions about the new grading scale, contact the school guidance office at 241-3259.
