about GRADE REPORTS at Bronx Science
The Academic Year is broken up into two terms. Term 1 begins in September and ends in January. Term 2 begins the first Monday in February and ends in June. Each term is divided into three marking periods, each of which lasts about six weeks. Report Cards are distributed at the end of each marking period. Letter grades are given during the first (S-atisfactory, R-isk of failing, U-failing, Z-Never Reported, L-Late Admission) and second (A,B,C,D,F) marking periods of each term and are intended to provide students and parents with information on academic progress. Teachers may make comments on the report card to elaborate on their grade. Examples include "shows special aptitude in this field" or "excessive lateness." The final grade of each term is a numerical grade and the only grade to be entered on the official transcript. These grades are averaged in with all final grades from previous terms to determine the grade point average. The End term Report Cards also contains midterm exams, final exams, Regents Examination grades and absences and lateness for each term. The Student Record (permanent record) is a doubled-sided transcript which contains teachers' names, grades and credits . It also contains the average for each subject area. Comments do not appear on the Student Record. This is for in-school use only and a copy of this record is distributed to each student twice yearly. The Official Transcript (the high school transcript) is the document sent to colleges and other post-secondary institutions or official agencies by the school. Only course names, grades, and regents examinations are listed on the official transcript. Arista
