DC Everest board approves move to weighted grading for 2025–26 after debate over equity and logistics
Summary
The D C Everest School Board voted to adopt a weighted grading system for the 2025–26 school year, adding 0.5 for honors/certification courses and 1.0 for AP/dual-enrollment. Administrators highlighted constraints with transcripts and possible uneven effects on current students; the board approved the proposal by voice vote.
The D C Everest Area School District board voted to implement a weighted grading system beginning in the 2025–26 school year, officials said.
Administrators proposed awarding a 0.5 ‘‘bump’’ for honors courses and industry-certification coursework and a 1.0 bump for college-credit-bearing classes such as AP or dual-enrollment. The policy includes a safeguard that grades of D or F receive no weight adjustment, and the district recommended phasing the change so students receive weighting only for grades earned after implementation.
