<p>Wow your schools are so rough... my school is:
A 85-100
A- 80-84
B+ 75-79
B 70-74
B- 65-69
C 55-64
D 50-54
F >49
But anything below a 60 can't be used towards a requirement
You may think its a breeze but class averages are in the 40's...lol</p>
<p>80-84 is an A, LOL</p>
<p>Don't laugh, Little_Duck. You might be glad once you hit college, especially if you're a science major. :) Sometimes, 70+ is at least an A-. Which can be really nice.</p>
<p>im laughing because i have never heard of a high school that considers a 80-84 an A. ridiculous</p>
<p>I'm guessing that's b/c you're in Canada, dlesk.</p>
<p>Yeah, canada. Thank god thats the scale. For example, my class average in electromagnetism is a whooping 37%!. It probably just as hard if not harder to hit the "A" in my school than somewhere where A = 92%. Only about 15% of students have over 80% overall</p>
<p>My school doesn't use the A-F scale.</p>
<p>6 (93-100)
5 (85-92)
4 (76-84)
3 (68-75)
2 (60-67)
1 (50-59)
0 (0-49)</p>
<p>Most kids have 4.5 (out of 6.0) averages. About 3 kids in our grade have perfect 6.0s.</p>
<p>Okay I seriously have been reading other comments my school’s grading scale is CRAZY hard: A 97-100%
A- 96-94%
B+93-91%
B 88-90%
B- 87-84%
C+84-79%
C 78-75%
C- 74-71%
D+70-68%
D 67-65%
D- 65-64%
F 64-0%
Is it even legal in the U.S. it to be so hard? I am not going to state the name of my school for obvious reasons, but I swear to god that I am telling the truth.</p>
<p>Same… crazy hard</p>
<p>This thread is six years old, but whatever. </p>
<p>My high school has a somewhat harder-looking grading scale than most of what I see on here (except in this thread), but the classes are easier. The work isn’t difficult enough to justify calling a 90% an A.</p>
My school in the United States has a scale set to that anything below 70% is a failing grade, but I’ve heard that schools in Alberta and Canada go all the way down to 50% before they’ll fail you.
OP is quite possibly in their 30s, married, with kids, so not overly concerned with this anymore.
