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:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (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)
“Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
