A passing grade in high school varies depending on the school, district, and even the individual teacher's grading scale. However, there are some commonalities:
Most commonly, a "C" or 70% is considered the minimum passing grade. This means a student needs to achieve at least 70% of the total possible points in a class to pass. However, this is not a universal standard.
Some schools use a letter grade system (A, B, C, D, F), while others might use a numerical system (e.g., 0-100%). The cutoff for passing will be specified in the school's grading policy.
A "D" might be considered passing in some places, but it often comes with conditions. A D grade might mean the student passed the course but may need to improve for college admissions or future academic success. It might also signify needing to retake the course or a portion of it.
Failing grades (typically "F" or below 60%) indicate the student did not meet the minimum requirements for passing the course and must typically retake it.
Credit requirements vary. A passing grade doesn't just mean passing the class; it also often means earning credit towards graduation. The number of credits needed to graduate is set by the school or district.
Policies on borderline grades can differ. Some schools may allow teachers some leeway in borderline cases (e.g., a 69% might be rounded up to a 70%), while others strictly adhere to the set grading scale.
To know definitively what constitutes a passing grade, a student should refer to their school's grading policy, student handbook, or consult with their teachers or guidance counselor.
