To find the precise grading scale used by a particular school, you should:
* Check the school's website: Most schools post their grading policies and scales on their websites, often in a student handbook or under a section about academics.
* Contact the school directly: Call the school's main office or email the guidance counselor or principal's office.
* Review the student handbook: If your child attends a school in Cumberland County, their handbook should detail the grading system.
In general, expect a grading scale similar to the standard American system, with A representing the highest grade and F representing failure. The numerical equivalent for each letter grade will likely fall within a common range (e.g., 90-100 = A, 80-89 = B, etc.), but the exact cutoffs might differ slightly from school to school.
