The Mount Horeb School District is in a pilot year with a new grading policy, rolling it out in some classes and planning full implementation for the future. You can learn more about the policy called Evidence Based Grading (EBG) here: Mount Horeb Area School District - Grading and Assessment

Mount Horeb Middle and High Schools should wait to implement EBG and first send out a survey to the community, because they might find a significant part of the community does NOT support the change. The survey should ask:

1. Do we approve replacing A-B-C-D-F with E-P-A-B-NE?

2. Do we approve removing point-based test scores from Infinite Campus?

3. Do we approve replacing percentage-based grades with opinion-based rubrics?

4. Do we agree that students who achieve proficiency by retaking tests should be able to earn a high school GPA of 4.0?

5. Do we agree that there should be no consequences for incomplete and missing assignments?

The Middle and High Schools' survey results should be shared and used to guide decision-making. This ipetition is open until April 15th, 2025.
