will more than likely repeat the course. British Columbia This is the system of grading used in many high schools (Grades 10–12) in BC. Each university has its system of marking. Most elementary (Grades K–6) and middle schools (Grades 7–9) in BC no longer use grades, using a standards-based system instead, with some high schools also choosing to do so. I = Incomplete – Missing assignments F = Fail – Received grade under 50% W = The student has withdrawn from this course P = The student has passed this course though a grade is not available (usually occurs when switching schools/grading systems i.e. moving from the US) Ontario The grading standards for public elementary and secondary schools (including secular and separate; English and French first language schools) are set by the Ontario Ministry of Education and includes letter grades and percentages. In addition to letter grades and percentages, the Ministry of Education also uses a level system to mark its students. The four levels correspond to how students are marked on the Ontario rubric. The following is the levels on the Ontario rubric, its meaning, and its corresponding letter/percentage grades: Level 4, beyond government standards (A; 80 percent and above) Level 3, at government standards (B; 70–79 percent) Level 2, approaching government standards (C; 60–69 percent) Level 1, well below government standards (D; 50–59 percent) The grading standards for A− letter grades changed in September 2010 to coincide with a new academic year. The new changes require a higher percentage grade by two or five points to obtain an A or A+ respectively. Quebec Quebec's passing mark is 60% and not 50% as compared to some other provinces. Note that it is common practice for students to pass with grades in the range of 55% to 59% at the teacher's discretion. The military pass mark is also generally 60%. Note: Most schools in Quebec have now switched to percentages. The mark the students receive is the mark that is shown. The 60% passing mark remains. Saskatchewan At a high school level in Saskatchewan, most subjects are separated into three competencies. On report cards, marks are normally shown as numbers and an average of the two marks associated with the subject will be calculated. For example, if a student achieves A, A− and B+ in a subject, teachers will calculate an average of the three marks (in this case, 85%).
