This resource was produced in response to a request from a state department of education (SDE) served by the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) that requested information on whether or not other states have uniform grading practices (grading policies and grading scales), and if so, what types of grading scales are used (e.g., 90–100=A, 80–89=B, etc.). In response to this request, SECC staff conducted searches for information on uniform grading practices by reviewing SDE Web sites and education-based resources. They also contacted state department staff and educational research and dissemination organizations for additional information.
