In an effort to ensure equitable and fair grading practices in elementary schools throughout the Baldwin County Public School System, the district has adopted a standard grading format to be used with all students in grades 1-6. All grades earned by students should reflect the degree to which they have learned and mastered grade-level curricular standards mandated by the Alabama State Department of Education.

1st through 6th grades, Baldwin County Public Schools utilize the following grading system:

• A = 90-100
• B = 80-89
• C = 70-79
• D = 60-69
• F = 59-0

*Kindergarten will receive a quarterly skills checklist. 

In elementary school, the grades are weighted as follows:

• Summative Assessments 40%
• Formative Assessments 60%

Parents/guardians are encouraged to check grades on a regular basis and communicate with your child’s teacher as needed. Grades can be checked electronically through PowerSchool.
