Grading Policy

  • For the past few years, Prairie Middle School has been exploring grading practices and doing some collective research.  We have also walked alongside Overland HS in their studies of the book, Grading For Equity.

    In an effort to get some better alignment with our grading, here's some school-wide grading practice this year.

    • No Zeros: All incomplete/missing work will be scored as an NHI (50%).
    • No Penalty for Late/Make-up Work
    • No Extra Credit
    • No participation/compliance grades: Any assignments that go into the gradebook will be tied to academic standards.
    • Gradebook Alignment by School & Department: All teachers (regardless of department) will use an A-F scale for grading.
