Dee-Mack’s 7 point grading scale puts its students at a competitive disadvantage to students in districts that use a 10 point scale. In fact, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, the majority of U.S. high schools use the 10 point scale, meaning Dee-Mack students face an uphill battle against the MAJORITY of high school students nationwide. The 7 point scale makes it more difficult for Dee-Mack students to be accepted into colleges, especially those in the Ivy League. We call on the Deer Creek- Mackinaw School Board to adopt the 10 point grading scale and to adapt the transcripts of current Dee-Mack students to reflect the 10 point scale.

Seeing this much momentum confirms that I am not the only one exhausted by watching our students struggle against an unfair system. It has been a long road but this support keeps me pushing forward for the change we deserve.

JUST SWITCH IT ALREADY. Sick of getting B's when I have a 89.
College admissions are tough enough without this outdated scale holding us back. lets get with the times
I completely agree with this. If we had a 10 point grading scale my grades would've looked much better last year.
10 POINT FOR THE WIN Garrett is the best class president ever yall we should appreciate this man
Even University Highschool uses a ten point grading scale. Also, colleges only look at GPA as in grade letter and do not adjust to the grading scale
Our kids should be graded on same scale as other schools. Plz change scale.
I’d have a $600 grant if we had a ten point scale.

My gpa would be way higher if we had this. Its not fair that other schools get an A for a 90 and we have to work way harder for it.
