CRITERIA FOR GRADING
Cadets will earn grades each marking period based on a 100-point weekly allocation, determined by successful passing of each benchmark assessment.
Benchmarks are 100% of your grade. If Cadet fails a benchmark he/she will be given two attempts to pass the benchmarks. Upon a retake, the Cadet can only receive 70% grade on the 2nd and 3rd attempt. The time period for retake will be 0630 -0730 (zero hour) on given day.
GRADING SCALE
A = 93 – 100
B = 85 – 92
C = 75 – 84
D = 66 – 74
F = Below 66 (Failure)
Marking Period Grades – The grade for each marking period will be determined by averaging the points accumulated to compute the marking period grade.
Semester Grades – The grade for a semester (two ten-week marking periods) is determined by averaging 1st and 2nd quarter grades.
Any cadet who accumulates 50 or more demerits during an academic marking period is considered excessive and will fail JROTC class for that marking period.
ADDITIONAL COURSE BENCHMARKS
The following parades and military ball are mandatory course requirements. In addition, cadets must be enrolled in at least one extra curricular activity. Each parade is a benchmark worth 100 points. Cadets can makeup failed parade benchmarks with 8 hours after school activities approved by CSM Tuffs. (Failure to attend or participate will result in a failing grade for the semester):
