EXAMS
High School Exams
Semester and final exams are given to most high school classes; they are valued at 20 % of the semester grade. Review days are scheduled in most classes before these exams. Students are responsible for keeping all tests handed back to them throughout each semester to aid them in studying for their semester and final exams; they shall be cumulative throughout each semester.
Administration of seniors’ final exams takes place before the Senior Class Trip( when the class elects to do a class trip). Teachers of seniors may occasionally choose to elect to permit seniors to be exempt from taking final exams. When a teacher elects to implement this exemption, the teacher will establish the minimum final grade needed to be exempted from his / her exam, which cannot be less than 93.
Middle School Exams
Our middle school program is purposefully designed to be a time of transition between elementary and high school. For this reason, middle school students are given mid-term and final exams on a limited and progressive basis according to their developmental needs. The reduced value of these exams also helps middle school students transition into the high school rigor of full-value exams.
