Curriculum Grade

Your curriculum grade is the largest single category in your overall grade. It is based on your performance in the digital textbook (Edmentum/Apex curriculum) and counts for 40% of your final grade.


What this grade measures

This is the grade shown in your digital textbook. It includes your quiz scores, test scores, and graded activity scores. No adjustments are made to this number — the teacher enters it exactly as the digital textbook displays it.

Missing or late work is handled directly inside the digital textbook. If an assignment is not submitted, a zero is entered there, which lowers your curriculum grade naturally. There is no separate penalty system — the textbook grade tells the full story.

Score range What it means Grade
90–100% Outstanding. You are mastering the material at a high level. A
80–89% Good effort. You have a solid grasp with some small gaps. B
70–79% You are meeting the basic requirements. Some areas need more work. C
60–69% Below average. More effort and practice are needed. D
Below 60% Failing. Significant gaps in understanding. Talk to your teacher right away. F

How this connects to learning verification

The curriculum grade (40%) and the Meeting Content — Learning Verification category (30%) are designed to work together. Your curriculum grade reflects how you performed on assessments in the digital textbook. Your learning verification score reflects whether you can actually explain and defend what you learned when you sit down with your teacher in your scheduled meeting.

A student with a strong curriculum grade who can also defend their learning in scheduled meetings will earn the highest overall grades. A student with a high curriculum grade who cannot explain the material will see that reflected in their learning verification score.

“Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”
