The grading system to be used is CUMULATIVE. This means that the final grades for the second to fourth grading periods are computed such that the previous grade shall be given weight of 30% and the tentative grade shall be 70% of the grade for the period.

Example: Grade for the first grading period 85%

Tentative grade for the 2^nd grading period 85%

30% of 85 = 25.50

+ 70% of 87 = 60.90

Computed Grade = 86.40

Therefore the final rating for the second grading period is 86%.

An average grade of 75% is required for passing each subject.

The highest possible grade that can be given to a student is 98 while the lowest grade is 70.
