2. how do you compute grades per quarter for Garde 1 to 10 and grades 11 to 12?
Get the total score for each component.
Divide the total raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient by
100%.
Convert Percentage Scores to Weighted Scores. Multiply the Percentage Score by the
weight of the component indicated in Table 4 and Table 5.
Add the Weighted Scores of each component. The result will be the Initial Grade.
Transmute the Initial Grade using the Transmutation Table.
Individual grades are assigned to each area of MAPEH, which stands for Music, Arts, Physical
Education, and Health. MAPEH's quarterly grade is the average of the four areas' quarterly grade
3. how do you compute grades at the end of the school year?
For Kindergarten
There are no numerical grades in kindergarten. Descriptions of the learners’ progress in the
various learning areas are represented using checklists and student portfolios. These are
presented to the parents at the end of each quarter for discussion. Additional guidelines on the
kindergarten program will be issued.
For Grades 1-10
The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the Final Grade.
The General Average is computed by dividing the sum of all final grades by the total number of
learning areas. Each learning area has equal weight.
The Final Grade in each learning area and the General Average are reported as whole numbers.
Table 8 shows an example of the Final Grades of the different learning areas and General
Average of a Grade 4 student.
Table 8. Final Grades and General Average
For Grades 11 and 12
The two quarters determine the Final Grade in a semester. Table 9 shows an example in Grade
11, second semester for the Accounting, Business, and Management (ABM) strand.
Table 9. Grade 11, 2nd Semester of ABM strand
4. what descriptors and grading scale are in reporting progress of learners?
The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardians through a parent-
teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed. The grading scale, with its
corresponding descriptors, are in Table 10. Remarks are given at the end of the grade level.
Table 10. Descriptors, Grading Scale, and Remarks
Using the sample class record in Table 6, LEARNER A received an Initial Grade of 84.86 in
English for the First Quarter, which, when transmuted to a grade of 90, is equivalent to
Outstanding. LEARNER B received a transmuted grade of 88, which is equivalent to Very
Satisfactory. LEARNER C received a grade of 71, which means that the learner Did Not Meet
Expectations in the First Quarter of Grade 4 English.
When a learner’s raw scores are consistently below expectations in Written Work and
Performance Tasks, the learner’s parents or guardians must be informed not later than the fifth
week of that quarter. This will enable them to help and guide their child to improve and prepare
for the Quarterly Assessment. A learner who receives a grade below 75 in any subject in a
quarter must be given intervention through remediation and extra lessons from the teacher/s of
that subject.
5. what are the bases for learners’ promotion and retention at the end of the school year?
the bases for promoting a learner to the next grade level or for retaining a learner in the same
grade level. These decisions must be applied based on evidence and judiciously.
A Final Grade of 75 or higher in all learning areas allows the student to be promoted to the next
grade level. Table 11 specifies the guidelines to be followed for learner promotion and retention.

For Grades 1-10, a learner who Did Not Meet Expectations in at most two learning areas must
take remedial classes. Remedial classes are conducted after the Final Grades have been
computed. The learner must pass the remedial classes to be promoted to the next grade level.
However, teachers should ensure that learners receive remediation when they earn raw scores
which are consistently below expectations in Written Work and Performance Tasks by the fifth
week of any quarter. This will prevent a student from failing in any learning area at the end of
the year.
For Grade 11-12, learners who fail a unit/set of competencies must be immediately given
remedial classes. They should pass the summative assessments during remediation to avoid a
failing grade in a learning area/subject. This will prevent students from having back subjects in
Senior High School (SHS). However, if the learner still fails remedial classes, s/he must retake
the subject/s failed during the summer or as a back subject. Guidance teachers/career advocates
must provide support to the SHS student for his/her choices in SHS tracks.
Summative Assessments are also given during remedial classes. These are recorded, computed,
weighted, and transmuted in the same way as the Quarterly Grade. The equivalent of the Final
Grade for remedial classes is the Remedial Class Mark (RCM). The Final Grade at the end of the
school year and the Remedial Class Mark are averaged. This results in the Recomputed Final
Grade. If the Recomputed Final Grade is 75 or higher, the student is promoted to the next grade
level. However, students will be retained in the grade level if their Recomputed Final Grade is
below 75.
The teacher of the remedial class issues the Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade, which is
noted by the school principal. This is submitted to the division office and must be attached to
both Form 137 and School Form Number 5. Figure 1 below shows a sample certificate.
Figure 1. Sample Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade
The learner can enroll in the next grade level for Grades 1-10 and in the next semester for Grades
11-12 upon presentation of the Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade. This certificate can be
verified in the division offices as needed.
6. What is the report on learners’ observed values?
The goal of the K to 12 curriculum is to holistically develop Filipinos with 21st-century skills.
The development of learners’ cognitive competencies and skills must be complemented by the
formation of their values and attitudes anchored on the Vision, Mission, and Core Values of the
Department of Education (DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2013) as shown on the next page. Non-DepEd
schools may modify or adapt these guidelines as appropriate to the philosophy, vision, mission,
and core values of their schools.
