Grade Calculation at SUN Tech
- Q: Why is my student's SUN Tech grade different from their home school grade?
- A: Some of the school districts that send students to SUN Tech calculate grades
a little bit differently than we do. In order to keep letter grades (and a student's pass/fail status)
consistent, a student's grade at SUN Tech must be converted to an equivalent grade at their home school.
- Q: How can I convert my student's grade from SUN Tech to its home school equivalent?
- A: We have provided a small program below that you can use to convert your student's SUN Tech
grade to its home school equivalent. Simply enter their SUN Tech grade, select their home school, and click
Submit.
Grading Procedures
SUN Tech issues a Progress Report with an accompanying task list instead of
a Report Card. The purpose of this Progress Report is to equate the student's
progress to industry/business requirements, and will be issued every nine
weeks. Grades are based on practical application and theory.
Every student will be required to take a final examination which will be
averaged with the four marking period grades. The final exam is one-fifth of
the final grade.
At the middle of each grading period, a Mid-quarter Report will be sent to
parents/guardians of those students whose achievement is substandard.
