FAIRGRADE PETITION
In light of the compelling data and evidence presented by the parent advocacy group, FAIRGRADE, regarding Fairfax County Public Schools unfair grading policies, we urge you to make the following revisions:
Adopt a 10 point scale, defined as:
90 - 100 = A = 4.0 pts
80 - 89 = B = 3.0 pts
70 - 79 = C = 2.0 pts
60 - 69 = D = 1.0 pts
59 - below = F = 0 pts
Provide a 0.5 point weight for each Honors class
Provide a 1.0 point weight for each AP / IB class
We believe these changes will encourage FCPS students to take more challenging courses and enable them to better compete for college admissions, honors programs, and merit scholarships.
