1. The grading system in the High School Department is a combination of the cumulative and averaging system. While the student is      evaluated quarterly, he/she is also given semestral grades. The first semester grade is determined by adding 40% of the first quarter      grade and 60% of the second quarter grade. The second semestral grade is determined by adding 40% of the third quarter grade and      60% of the fourth quarter grade. The final grade is computed by getting the average of the two semester grades.

2. The Quarterly grade is determined thus: 70% of the Class standing plus 30% of the Quarter Examination Grade.

3. Grades of students are computed in the range of 65% to 100%.

4. P.E., Health (GICP), Music, and CAT Grades.
Make-up the grade in MAPEH.

MAPEH is a composite subject that is considered as one (1) unit in the curriculum. It is composed of GICP (Health), Physical Education (PE), Music, and Citizen Advancement Training (CAT) in the fourth year. In grading the following proportions are followed:

1. Quarterly examinations in all subjects are scheduled for three days.

2. Students are given the schedule of examination at least one (1) week before the actual examinations. The schedule of examinations is      posted in the classroom, bulletin boards, and in other strategic places.

3. Room assignments are also given to students at least one (1) day before the examinations. No student is admitted to an examination      room to which he is not assigned.

4. Examination Permits are issued to students only upon submission of fully accomplished clearance forms. These are required during the      2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter examinations.

Temporary examination permits may be used during the first day of examinations.

5. Students are expected to observe all examination rules and procedures that are enforced by the Proctor, i.e.:
               a. Honesty
               b. Presentation of examination permits and ID’s.
               c. Placing all bags, notes, books, etc. on the platform in front upon entering the examination room
               d. Strict observance of the seat plan.

                         No eating
                         No leaving of the examination room once the examinations have started
                         No loitering along corridors
                         No time extension in taking the test

6. Moratorium on Activities
          All school activities are suspended one (1) week before the examinations so that the students can concentrate on their preparation for           the examinations.

7. Special Examinations
          A student who fails to take the scheduled regular quarterly examinations may be given the permit to take special examinations upon           his submission of a letter of excuse from his/her parents/guardians. This letter must be submitted to the Prefect of Student Affairs and           must contain the reasons for his failure to take the scheduled quarterly examinations. If the said failure is due to illness, a medical           doctor’s certificate must be attached to the letter of excuse. Students are only allowed to take two (2) special examinations.
               The Prefect of Student Affairs issues the permit to take special examination. The student pays a fee at the accounting office. In                case of special examinations in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, a clearance is also required.
