Grading for middle school courses is calculated using the formulas below. You can however, click here for an easy-to-use Final Grade Calculator for middle school courses.
Final Grades for a Middle School Course (not including Civics): A student earns points for the letter grade achieved in each marking period as follows: A = 4 points,
B+ = 3.1 points,
B = 3 points,
C+ = 2.1 points,
C = 2 points,
D+ =1.1 points,
D = 1 point,
F = 0 points A final grade for a middle school course is based upon the total number of points earned in all marking periods according to the following: 14.00 or above points = A
12.20 through 13.99 = B+
10.00 through 12.19 = B
8.20 through 9.99 = C+
6.00 through 8.19 = C
4.20 through 5.99 = D+
4.00 through 4.19 = D
Below 4.00 points = F Final Grades for a Middle School Civics Course with a State EOC exam: A student enrolled in middle school Civics course requires the EOC assessment to constitute 30% of the final course grade. Students will earn points for the level achieved on the EOC exam and corresponding letter grade as follows: Level 4 or 5 =12 points,
Level 3 = 9 points,
Level 2 = 6 points,
Level 1 = 3 points The total marking period points from the course grade above, will convert to a new scale, according to the following: A = 28 points,
B+ = 22.4 points,
B = 21 points,
C+ = 15.4 points,
C = 14 points,
D+ = 8.4 points,
D = 7 points,
F = 0 points The student’s FINAL course grade in Civics will be determined by totaling the Converted Full Year Points and EOC points according to the following: A = 35.00 and above points,
B+ = 30.63 through 34.99 points,
B = 25.00 through 30.62 points,
C+ = 20.63 through 24.99 points,
C = 15.00 through 20.62 points,
D+ = 10.63 through 14.99 points,
D = 6.25 through 10.62 points,
F = 6.24 and below points *High school grades will be assigned for any high school course taken by a middle grades student and will be counted towards the student’s high school grade point averages.

Pursuant to section 1006.07(2)(f), Florida Statutes, elementary and middle school students may not use a wireless communication device during the school day. High school students may not use a wireless communication device during the school day, except when expressly directed by a teacher solely for educational purposes. All wireless communication devices shall be turned off or placed on airplane mode from the first bell of the day until the end of the school day, including passing periods and lunchtime. It is important to distinguish that this is not a ban on cell phones or other technology; it is meant to elevate student learning and allow students to Disconnect to Reconnect in a distraction-free environment.

This policy is a continuation from the 2024-2025 school year. As such, enforcement will begin on the first day of school.

Students interested in the Exploration pathway may want to take a short break from school or want to increase their skills before starting a career. This break is called a gap year, a set amount of time for planned practical learning. A gap year gives students time to explore their interests while planning their career or academic options.
