1. What is the Bee Man Grade Calculator?

The Bee Man Grade Calculator combines class and exam grades into a final grade according to Broward County, FL Public Schools grading policy. It implements the specific formula and 2/3 rule used in the district.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Broward County grading formula:

Where:

• Q1/Q2 — Quarter grades (0-100 points)
• Midterm/Final — Exam grades (0-100 points)

Grade Scale:

• A = 360+ total points
• B = 320-359 total points
• C = 280-319 total points
• D = 240-279 total points
• F = Below 240 total points

3. Understanding the 2/3 Rule

Details: The 2/3 rule requires that both exam scores (midterm and final) must be at least two-thirds of the average quarter grade. If either exam score violates this rule, the final grade is automatically an F regardless of the total points.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all four grade values as points (0-100). The calculator will check the 2/3 rule first, then calculate the final grade based on the total points if the rule is satisfied.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
