This article covers grade metrics for heritage Edgenuity courses. For information about grade metrics for EdgeEX courses, reference EdgeEX — Understanding grade metrics.
Edgenuity reports three different grade metrics, designed to be used for different purposes. Your school or district may select one or more of these metrics to use throughout the school year, while others may allow the teachers to decide which to use. It is important to understand the differences between these three grading metrics, when they are typically used, and where they appear for students and parents.
