Averaging Transfer Grades From Another Class or District

Transferring from Another District:

• Incoming Grades: Transfer students will bring their grades from the previous school.

• Quarter Transfers:
  • If a student transfers between quarters, their previous school's grade will be used for the completed quarter (e.g., transfer in 2nd quarter, previous school's grade used for 1st semester). The teacher will manually average this grade with the student's Baldwin County grades for the current semester.
  • If a student transfers within a week of a quarter, a formula will be used to calculate their average for the partial quarter at the previous school. This formula is not specified in the document, so consult with your school administration for details.

• Grading Scale Difference: If the previous school's grading scale differs from Baldwin County's, a direct conversion might not be possible. Consult with the administration for appropriate adjustments.

Transferring Within District or Similar Grading Scale:

• Weighted Average: A weighted average will be used to calculate quarterly grades for students transferring within the district or from a school with the same grading scale.

• Weighting Previous Grades: To honor previous work, grades from the prior school will be weighted accordingly.
