How it works

First we average each category (Σ earned ÷ Σ possible), apply the category weights to get the quarter grade, then use your semester/final weights to compute the term and overall grades.

Defaults: Summative 70%, Minor 20%, Practice 10%. Semester 40/40/20 (Q1/Q2/Exam). Final 50/50 (S1/S2). Change anything in Advanced.

We round per your setting (nearest by default) and map to the A/B/C/D/E scale (HCPSS uses E for failing). Check with your teacher for the official setup.

Inputs explained

  • Categories & assignments: add scores (earned/possible). Mark excused if an item shouldn't count.
  • Drop Lowest: remove lowest N scores within a category (by percentage) before calculating that category's average.
  • Letter scale & rounding: pick bands and rounding (nearest/down/up). Most schools round to nearest whole.
  • Semester/Final weights: adjust Q1/Q2/Exam (or S1/S2) to match your syllabus.

Example

Category weights: Summative 70%, Minor 20%, Practice 10%

  • Summative: (88/100, 45/50, 37/40) → 88% avg
  • Minor: (18/20, 9/10, 15/20) → 84% avg
  • Practice: (8/10, 10/10, 9/10) → 90% avg

Quarter = 0.88×0.70 + 0.84×0.20 + 0.90×0.10 = 0.616 + 0.168 + 0.090 = 0.874 → 87.4% → 87% (rounded) → B

Semester (Q1 87%, Q2 92%, Exam 85%; 40/40/20):

0.87×0.40 + 0.92×0.40 + 0.85×0.20 = 0.348 + 0.368 + 0.170 = 0.886 → 88.6% → 89% → B

Final (S1 89%, S2 93%; 50/50):

0.89×0.50 + 0.93×0.50 = 0.89 → 89% → B

Tips & notes

  • Ask your teacher for the exact category weights and rounding rules.
  • Dropping lowest assignments can raise a category average—use this if allowed in your course.
  • Practice/excused work policies vary; this tool treats excused as excluded.
  • This calculator ignores attendance, extra credit, and special overrides—enter them as assignments if needed.

FAQs

Yes, many HCPSS classes label failing grades as "E." You can toggle E/F labels and thresholds in Advanced settings.

Yes. Add/remove categories and set weights to any values that sum to 100%.

Use the Semester panel. Enter Q1, Q2, and Exam scores and set weights (40/40/20 by default).

You can still enter categories/assignments as points earned/possible, but results are an approximation.

No. Everything runs in your browser. Use Export or Share Link to keep or share your entries.

No. It's an informational tool to help you plan. Always follow your teacher's syllabus and school policies.

You can set "Drop Lowest N" for each category. The calculator removes the lowest N scores by percentage (earned/possible) before computing that category's average.

Choose from: Round to nearest whole (0.5 up), Always round down (truncate), or Always round up (ceiling). Most schools round to nearest whole.
