Grading Policy and Citizenship Rubric

Under CCSD Regulation 5121, the Clark County School District and Boulder City High School are committed to student success by embodying the core values of equity, accountability, and high expectations for ALL students. We are committed to ensuring grades are an equitable and accurate reflection of student learning through sound grading practices. The updated grading regulation includes the utilization of a balanced grading scale, separation of academic achievement and learner behaviors, and guidance for providing students additional opportunities to demonstrate mastery through reassessment opportunities. At Boulder City High School we know that for students to be truly College or Career Ready, citizenship requires more than preparing them to take and pass tests, meet graduation requirements and be eligible for postsecondary opportunities. Our College/Career Readiness citizenship rubric was created to help students develop the soft skills necessary for college and/or career success.

ACT INFORMATION

ACT INFORMATION

The ACT (“American College Test”) is now the more popular college admissions standardized test in the US, with the number of test-takers exceeding that of the SAT. The ACT covers skills that you’ve learned in school. The test has four sections: English, Math, Social Studies, and Natural Sciences. You can find out more information by visiting www.actstudent.org. In college admissions, the ACT Composite Score is by far the most important score. It is calculated by taking an average of your four core section scores, with these important points: The Composite is rounded to the nearest whole number; and 0.5 is rounded UP to the nearest whole number.
