Important Update for Gretna Families Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, Gretna Public Schools will implement a new 10-point grading scale and transition to an A-F reporting system. This change is part of our District Strategic Plan and is backed by research from our K-12 District Grading Committee. Read the full news article on the district and any school website.
New Grading Scale (2025-2026):
A: 90-100
B: 80-89
C: 70-79
D: 60-69
F: Below 60
Why the Change?
• Better alignment with colleges and other schools • Clearer representation of student achievement
Timeline:
• Fall 2025: New grading scale begins
• 2025-2026: Ongoing updates to grading practices
What about past grades?
Grades earned before 2025-2026 will remain the same and not be adjusted.
We’re committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all! For more details, read the full news article on any district and school website or reach out to your school administrator.
