The Houston Independent School District (HISD) has a structured grading policy that ensures students are assessed based on their achievement of course/grade level standards. Here are the key points of HISD's grading policy:
- Grading Criterion: Grades are based solely on achievement, with attendance, effort, ability, participation, improvements, attitude, and other behaviors reported separately.
- Promotion Standards: Students must show that they have learned what the State of Texas requires of all public school children, including classroom grades and local or state tests.
- Grading Scale: HISD uses a standard grading scale, with a passing grade being a D, which ranges from 10 - 74.
