Grading Policy

East Side High School follows the Newark Board of Education (NBOE) grading policy.   The District uses three grade scales: Default, Honors, and AP. The Honors grade scale offers greater grade point values than the Default scale, and the AP scale is greater than the Honors scale. The sum of grade points for all of the courses a student has taken is used to compute a student’s GPA. Because of the greater value of the grade points, students taking Honors or AP courses will have a higher GPA than students earning the same grades in a general Default grade scale course. The grade points for a D or F are the same across all grade scales. The grade points associated with each grade are shown in the tables below.
