Understanding Skyward's Grading System
How grades are calculated and displayed in Skyward
Skyward is a student information system used by many schools to manage grades, attendance, and other student data. Here's what you need to know about how grades are calculated and displayed in Skyward:
Grading Methods
- Total Points: Your grade is based on the total points you've earned divided by the total possible points.
- Weighted Categories: Assignments are grouped into categories (e.g., Tests, Homework) and each category has a weight that determines its contribution to your final grade.
- Term Weights: Different terms (quarters, semesters) may have different weights in calculating the final grade.
Grade Display
- Percentage: Your grade is displayed as a percentage, which represents the portion of points you've earned.
- Letter Grade: The percentage is converted to a letter grade based on a predefined grading scale (e.g., A=90-100%, B=80-89%).
- GPA: Some schools also display a GPA (Grade Point Average), which is calculated based on the letter grades you've earned.
Important Considerations
- Always check your course syllabus for the specific grading policies used in your class.
- Skyward may have different settings for ungraded assignments, extra credit, and rounding.
- If you notice any discrepancies between your calculated grade and what's shown in Skyward, contact your teacher for clarification.
