Can a teacher change his or her own grading scale or is it preset to the standard CPS grading scale?
By default each school is set to the recommended CPS grading scale. At the present time, only elementary school principals can call the IMPACT Help Desk to request a change to the school scale based on a local standard. As the grade conversion tables are defined at the District (or campus, on request) level, teachers can choose between these scales or can choose to add points to the average of the student. This gives teachers some flexibility in defining the grading scale for their classrooms. High schools are locked into a standard grading scale.
