• Grading Scale and Quality Points 

    PowerSchool Link

    Calculations are based on a standardization of academic course levels, grading scales, and the weighting of course grades.  Class rank is based on a weighted grade point average in which a single (1) quality point is added to passing grades earned in Advanced/ Honors courses and two (2) quality points are added to passing grades earned in Advanced Placement courses. 

    New Grading Scale: Beginning in 2015-16, Harnett County Schools’ students in grades 3-12 will be graded on a ten-point grading scale as follows:

    90-100% = A                      
    80-89% = B                         
    70-79% = C
    60-69% = D
    <59 = F

    Transcript:  Transcript grades and the corresponding number of quality points are shown below.

    90-100 = 4.0
    80-89 = 3.0
    70-79 = 2.0
    60-69 = 1.0
    <59 = 0.0
