ORIENTATION FOR
STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Senior High School (SHS) is a new addition to
the Basic Education Curriculum. A good

in transitioning from Junior High School (JHS)
and guides them in the next step of their
educational journey.

How is learners progress recorded and computed?

For Grades 1 to 12
No required number of written
work and performance task but
these must be spread out over the
Quarter and used to assess
learners skills after each unit has
been taught

Steps in computing the Final Grades

Step 1

Grades from all student work are

added up. This results in the total
score for each component, namely
Written Work, Performance Tasks, and
Quarterly Assessment.
Raw Scores from each component
have to be converted to a Percentage
Score. This is to ensure that values
are parallel to each other.
30

National Training of Trainers

for Grade 11 Teachers

Step 2
The sum for each component is
converted to the Percentage Score. TO
compute the Percentage Score (PS),
divide the raw score by the highest
possible score then multiply the
quotient by 100%.

31

National Training of Trainers

for Grade 11 Teachers

Step 3
The Percentage Scores are converted to
Weighted Scores to show the
importance of each component in
promoting learning in different
subjects.
Percentage Score is multiplied by the
weight of the component. The product
is known as the Weighted Score (WS).

32

National Training of Trainers

for Grade 11 Teachers

Weights of the Components for SHS

Multiply the Percentage Score by the weights of the
components

3333

National Training of Trainers

for Grade 11 Teachers

Step 4
The sum of the Weighted Scores in
each component is the Initial
Grade. This initial Grade will be
transmuted using the given
transmutation table to get the
Quarterly Grade (QG).
