Grading Policy

The teacher is the final authority on the assignment of grades. When reported to the School office on the Official Report Card, grades represent the teacher's final decision as to a student's achievement. Grades are not given as a warning, punishment or reward and are not subject to revision for purposes of determining eligibility, honors, transfer, college entrance or for any other reason except the subsequent discovery that an error has been made. Only the teacher of the course can make a change of grade.

RHP Grades

A - Excellent
B - Above Average
C - Average
D -Unsatisfactory
F - Failure
CR - Credit
NC - No Credit
W - Withdrawal
I - Incomplete

Courses with 'D' grades do not meet graduation requirements at RHP and must be repeated. A 'D' in the first trimester of a two trimester course will be accepted for graduation if the second trimester is a 'C-' or higher. Transfer units are given for 'D' grades but not 'F', 'I' or 'W'.

Graduation Requirements

Diplomas are given for graduation from eighth and twelfth grades. Graduation requirements are based on grades, not on units of credit. One 'Year" of a subject refers to two trimesters (or semesters) of a course. To receive a diploma, students must receive at least a C- in the following courses.

*Pre Algebra and Participation on one Summer Trip (between 6th and 8th grade) are required for continuation into high school at RHP but not for graduation from 8th grade.
