Patch Wayne, NJ --District officials have discussed possibly changing the grading scheme at Wayne Hills and Wayne Valley high schools.
Currently there are no “minus” grades on the scale. The highest grade, for receiving a 90 or more, is an “A.” The next are “B+,” “B,” “C+," etc.
School board trustee Laura Stinziano said district officials have met with administrators regarding the proposed change.
“We’re just taking a look at possibly changing it for the benefit of our students,” said Stinziano said. “We want to do what’s best for the students. We think that it could possible hurt some of our students when it comes to class rankings and grade point average.”
Adding “minus” level grades, such as a “B-“ to the grading scale is one possibility.
Officials have not proposed any specific changes yet, Stinziano said.
Superintendent Ray Gonzalez said officials would meet with students and parents to discuss the issue.
