Discussion
What is the DepEd K to 12 grading system?
The K to 12 Basic Education Program uses standards- and competency-based grading system.
These are found in the curriculum guides. All grades will be based on the weighted raw score
of the learners' summative assessments. The minimum grade needed to pass a specific
learning area is 60, transmuted to 75 on the report card. The lowest mark that can appear on
the report card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final Grades.
For these guidelines, the Department will use a floor grade considered as the lowest possible
grade that will appear in a learner’s report card.
Learners from Grades 1 to 12 are graded on Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly
Assessment every quarter. These three are given specific percentage weights that vary
For Kindergarten
For Grades 1 to 12
There is one Quarterly Assessment in a grading period, but there should be instances for
students to produce Written Work and demonstrate what they know and can do through
Perks. There is no required number of Written Work and Performance Tasks, but these must

be spread out over the quarter and used to assess learners' skills after each unit has been
taught.
How to Compute for Final Grades and General Average in DepEd K to 12 Grading
System
The following are the steps in computing for the Final Grades.
This results in each component's total score, 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.
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%. This is shown below:
Step 3: Percentage Scores are then converted to Weighted Scores to show each
component's importance in promoting learning in the different subjects.
To do this, the Percentage Score is multiplied by the weight of the component found in Table
4 for Grades 1 to 10 and Table 5 for Senior High School. The product is known as the
Weighted Score (WS).

and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment.
No.
Table 4. Weight of the Components for Grades 1-10
The Senior High School (SHS) grading system follows a different set of weights for each
component. Table 5 presents the weights for the core and track subjects.
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).

No.
To better understand how to record the summative assessments, Table 6
presents a sample class record showing three learners for the first quarter of
Grade 4 English. Based on this class record, Table 7 presents a step-by-step
process for computing for the Quarterly Grade.
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.
The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the Final Grade.
The General Average is computed by dividing 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
the General Average of a Grade 4 student.

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.

How is the learner’s progress reported?
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.
Using the sample class record in Table 6, LEARNER A received an Initial Grade of 84.86 in
English for the First Quarter, equivalent to Outstanding when transmuted to a grade of 90.
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.

and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment.
No.
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 teacher/s
of that subject.
How are learners promoted or retained at the end of the school year?
This section provides the basis for promoting a learner to the next grade level or 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.

No.
For Grades 1-10, a learner who Did Not Meet Expectations in 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 to avoid a failing grade in a
learning area/subject during remediation. 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, noted by
the school principal. This is submitted to the division office and attached to both Form 137
and School Form Number 5. Figure 1 below shows a sample certificate.

The learner can enroll in the next grade level for Grades 1-10 and the next semester for
Grades 11-12 upon presenting the Certificate of Recomputed Final Grade. This certificate can
be verified in the division offices as needed.
How are the Core Values of the Filipino child reflected in the Report Card?
The goal of the K to 12 curricula is to develop Filipinos with 21st-century skills holistically.
The development of learners' cognitive competencies and skills must be complemented by
forming 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 to their schools' philosophy, vision,
mission, and core values.
VISION
We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and
competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to
building the nation.

Schools may craft additional indicators for the behavior statements. Schools must ensure that
these are child-centered, gender-fair, and age- and culture-appropriate. To support the
development of these Core Values, schools must ensure that their homeroom guidance
program promotes them. Additional opportunities may be integrated into class discussions in
all learning areas.
A non-numerical rating scale will be used to report on learners’ behavior demonstrating the
Core Values. The Class Adviser and other teachers shall agree on how to conduct these
observations. They will also discuss how each child will be rated. Table 13 presents the
marks that must be used.
AO Always Observed
SO Sometimes Observed
RO Rarely Observed
NO Not Observed
Learners who demonstrate not consistent behaviors or do not reflect the core values may need
additional psychosocial support from the school. The class adviser should discuss these
observations with the parents/guardians to promote their effective development. Further
probing may be needed to understand the learner's situation and context better.
Learners need to be in school every day. Learners’ class attendance shall be recorded by
teachers daily. At the end of each quarter, the attendance is reflected in the report card.

No.
Each month's number of school days is presented based on the school calendar for a given
school year. The number of days that each learner is present and absent is indicated.
Recording of attendance is done from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Table 14 shows how
attendance is recorded at the end of the school year.
A learner who incurs absences of more than 20% of the prescribed number of class or
laboratory periods during the school year or semester should be given a failing grade and not
earn credits for the learning area or subject. Furthermore, at his/her discretion and in the
individual case, the school head may exempt a learner who exceeds the 20% limit for reasons
considered valid and acceptable to the school. The discretionary authority is vested in the
school head and may not be availed of by a student or granted by a faculty member without
the school head's consent.
Such discretion shall not excuse the learner from the responsibility of keeping up with lessons
and taking assessments. When absences cannot be avoided, the school must give the learner
alternative methods and materials that correspond to the missed topics/competencies. These
include modules and materials for the Alternative Delivery Mode and Alternative Learning
System and those found on the Learning Resources Management and Development System
(LRMDS). When students accomplish the learning activities through these materials, they
shall be exempted. However, the report card should still reflect the number of absences.
Parents of learners accumulating many absences must be immediately informed through a
meeting to discuss how to prevent further absences.

Habitual tardiness, especially during the first period in the morning and the afternoon, is
discouraged. Teachers shall inform the parents/guardians through a meeting if a learner has
incurred five consecutive days of tardiness.
Below is the list of sample summative assessment tools per learning area. Teachers may use
other appropriate tools specific to the assessment task.

The computation of grades must be given extra care in the discussion above, especially in the
given weighted percentage on the identified subjects. Not all the learning areas have the same
weighted percentage regarding the performance, examination, and other activities. The
teacher/must be creative, innovative, and a keen observer to all the students in their respective
subjects.
Giving awards and recognition to students is one way to achieve the K to 12 Basic Education
Program's goals and objectives. The teacher will take note of the differences between the old
and the K to 12 curricula. There are significant changes in all aspects of giving awards and
recognition and the computation of grades.
Classroom Awards are recognition given to learners in each class or section. A simple
recognition may be given per quarter, semester, or at the end of the school year. Awardees are
given merit by the adviser and other subject teachers to recognize the learners' outstanding
performance in class.
Grade-level awards are given to qualified learners for every grade level at the end of the
school year. Candidates for the awards are deliberated by the Awards Committee (AC) if they
have met the given criteria.

The school gives special Recognition to the learners who have represented and won
competitions at the district, division, regional, national, or international levels. This is to
affirm learners who have brought honor to the school publicly.
A. Classroom Awards
Learners in Kindergarten should be recognized for their most evident and most prominent
abilities. They can also be recognized for showing significant improvement in a specific area
(e.g., having poor fine-motor skills to draw or write well). Since kindergarten learners have
no numerical grades, teachers are advised to recognize learners' outstanding achievement
based on the different domains and learning competencies of the kindergarten curriculum at
the end of every quarter. Since all learners must be given equal opportunity to excel and
demonstrate their strengths, an award may be given to more than one learner. Teachers can
choose from the domains and skills listed in Appendix 1. They can provide creative or unique
titles for each award appropriate to their context and community (e.g., mother tongue).
2. Conduct Awards
These awards are given to learners who have consistently demonstrated the DepEd core
values (Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, Makabansa).
These awards are given to younger learners to affirm their positive traits and attitudes or
recognize significant improvement in their behavior. Teachers can choose from but are not
limited to the character traits listed in Appendix 2. Page 3 of 15 also provides creative or
unique titles for each award appropriate to their context and community.
Conduct Awards for grades 4 to 12 in each class will be given at the end of the school year.
This will be based on the evaluation of the adviser and subject teachers, using the guidelines
stipulated in Section VI of DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015. Awardees must have consistently and
dutifully carried out the Department's core values as indicated in the report card. They must
have obtained a rating of at least 75% "Always Observed" (AO) at the end of the school year
(with at least 21 out of 28 AO rating in the report card). According to the Department's
service manual and child protection policies, they must not have been sanctioned with
offenses punishable by suspension or higher sanction within the school year.

No. 8, s. 2015. Table 1 shows the specific Academic Excellence Award given to learners
who meet the following cut-off grades.
This award is given at the end of every quarter to encourage learners to attend and
actively participate in class. Perfect attendance means that a learner must be present in all
of his/her classes and have no absences for the entire quarter. Learners representing the
school for various purposes (e.g., in-school or off-campus activities) may also qualify for
this award. Page 4 of 15
B. Grade-level Awards
At the end of the school year, the Academic Excellence Award is given to learners from
grades 1 to 12 who have attained a General Average of at least 90 and a passing Final
Grade in all learning areas.
The General Average is reported as a whole number following DepEd Order No. 8, s.
