Charlottesville City Schools

During the 2024-25 school year, we will start using a 10-point grading scale at Walker, Buford, and Charlottesville High School. We will also continue transitioning grades 6–12 to standards-based grading, a system that documents students’ mastery and understanding of a class’s core skills and learning standards. We have successfully implemented this grading system in some math classes over several years, and will be transitioning to this approach in all other subjects in grades 6–12 over the next few years (with full implementation in the 2027–28 school year.)

• To learn more, please review these slides from the May 30, 2024 School Board meeting. Slide 8 shows the year that a given course will transition to using standards-based grading.
