Academic Grading System
The Philippine Science High School uses a grading system similar to the major universities in country. Grading is cumulative, taking two-thirds of the grade earned for the current quarter (i.e. the transmuted grade, such as 1.25) and adding it to a third of the transmuted grade from the previous quarter.
| Grade | Percentage Range | Equivalent Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00 | 96 - 100 | 98 - 100 |
| 1.25 | 90 - 95 | 95 - 97 |
| 1.50 | 84 - 89 | 92 - 94 |
| 1.75 | 78 - 83 | 89 - 91 |
| 2.00 | 72 - 77 | 86 - 88 |
| 2.25 | 66 - 71 | 83 - 85 |
| 2.50 | 60 - 65 | 80 - 82 |
| 2.75 | 55 - 59 | 77 - 79 |
| 3.00 | 50 - 54 | 74 - 76 |
| 4.00 | 40 - 49 | 70 - 73 |
| 5.00 | Below 40 | Below 70 |
Note: The percentage range is used in actual computations while the equivalent range is used to translate grades for external usage.

Famous quotes containing the words academic, grading and/or system:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
