Grading Scale

The uniform method of grading applies to students in grades three through twelve throughout South Carolina.  Student performance is often reported with letter and numerical grades. Numerical grades are necessary to allow guidance counselors to rank and to make adjustments due to the level of course difficulty. At a glance, letter grades and numerical grades equate like this:

A = 90-100 percent 
B = 80-89 percent 
C = 70-79 percent              
D = 60-69 percent            
F = 59 percent and below
