GRADING:
 
To better reflect the Performing Arts Magnet criteria, the grading procedures are stringent.  Grades are broken down into participation (20%), dress (30%), and assignments (50%).  These will be totaled into an overall percentage, where the breakdown is as follows:
100%  - 95%   =   A
94.9% - 90%   =   B
89.9% - 85%   =   C
84.9% - 80%   =   D
