Grading system guide
Set up and configure grading scales
Overview
A grading system defines how marks are converted into grades. Decimal supports multiple grading systems, so different classes or subjects can use different scales if needed.
Grading scales
To create a grading scale, navigate to Settings → Grading, click "Add Grading System", name the system, and define the grade boundaries.
| Grade | Min % | Max % | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 80 | 100 | Excellent |
| B | 70 | 79 | Very Good |
| C | 60 | 69 | Good |
| D | 50 | 59 | Fair |
| E | 40 | 49 | Poor |
| F | 0 | 39 | Fail |
Configuring assessment weights
Define how different assessment components contribute to the final grade: Classwork/Homework (10–20%), Continuous Assessment (20–30%), and Exams (50–70%). Weights are configured per subject.
Comment banks
Comment banks are collections of pre-written teacher comments organized by category: academic performance, behavior and conduct, participation and effort, and areas for improvement. Teachers can also write custom comments for individual students.
