Grading System
The FSD uses a Standards-Based Grading System for grades K-4 and a letter-based system for grades 5-8.
Letter-Based Report Card (5-8)
At Franklin Special School District, we believe in clear, consistent grading to help families understand how students are progressing. Students receive letter grades for each subject, based on the following scale:
-
A = 93–100 (Excellent)
-
B = 86–92 (Good)
-
C = 76–85 (Satisfactory)
-
D = 70–75 (Needs Improvement)
-
F = 0–69 (Failing)
Some middle school students take high school-level classes, such as Algebra I, Geometry, or foreign languages. These courses follow a slightly different grading scale used by Williamson County Schools:
-
A = 90–100
-
B = 80–89
-
C = 70–79
-
D = 60–69
-
F = 0–59
-
I = Incomplete (must be completed in the next grading period)
