The San Francisco public school district rolled out a new grading policy. This new policy allows students to complete their classes with a minimum score of 21%. Under traditional grading, this percentage would cause the student to get an “F”. “Grading for Equity” removes homework and weekly test scores from the final grade. There will be a final exam at the end of the semester that could be taken several times. The school district’s superintendent implemented these new guidelines without seeking board approval.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the San Francisco public school district announced a new grading policy that will allow students to graduate classes with a score as low as 21 percent. The “Grading for Equity” method eliminates homework and weekly test scores from a student’s final semester grade.<\/p>\n

Instead, there will be one test at the end of each semester to decide if a student has passed the class. The final exam can be retaken several times, The Voice San Francisco reported.<\/p>\n

Maria Su, the Superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District, enacted the new guidelines without seeking approval from the board, according to the nonprofit. The changes will impact 10,000 students across 14 high schools in California’s Bay Area.<\/p>\n

Students may submit assignments late, fail to attend class, or choose not to attend at all without consequence to their academic performance. As of current, receiving an A requires a minimum score of 90 percent, while a D is set at 61 percent. Under the new scale, a student can obtain an A with a score as low as 80 percent, typically a B- and a D with a score as low as 21 percent, which is otherwise known as an F.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
