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:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“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)
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
