Broward County Final Grade Calculation:
| From: | To: |
The Beeman Calculator Broward is a specialized tool for calculating final grades according to Broward County Public Schools' grading policy. It combines quarter grades, midterm, and final exam scores into a final grade while enforcing the 2/3 rule requirement.
The calculator uses the Broward County grading formula:
Where:
2/3 Rule: Students must earn at least two-thirds of the points on the final exam to pass the course. If this requirement is not met, the final grade is automatically F regardless of total points.
Details: Accurate final grade calculation is essential for student progression, graduation requirements, and academic standing in Broward County schools. The 2/3 rule ensures mastery of final exam material.
Tips: Enter all four grade components as points (not percentages). Ensure values are valid (non-negative numbers). The calculator will automatically apply the 2/3 rule and map the total to the appropriate letter grade.
Q1: What is the 2/3 rule?
A: Students must earn at least two-thirds of the points available on the final exam. If not achieved, the student receives an F regardless of other grades.
Q2: How are points converted to letter grades?
A: A = 90+ points, B = 80-89, C = 70-79, D = 60-69, F = below 60 points (assuming 2/3 rule is satisfied).
Q3: Can I use percentage grades instead of points?
A: No, the calculator requires actual points earned as the grading system is points-based rather than percentage-based.
Q4: What if a student is close to the 2/3 threshold?
A: The rule is strictly enforced. Even being one point below the required threshold results in a failing grade for the course.
Q5: Are there exceptions to the 2/3 rule?
A: The 2/3 rule is a standard policy in Broward County with very limited exceptions, typically requiring administrative approval.
