Grading & Report Cards
Grading & Report Cards at Dakota Ridge High School
Dakota Ridge High School staff bases grades primarily on proficiency by working together to create consistent grade books between teachers of the same subject.
Student’s grades will reflect:
- A minimum of 80% based on summative assessments, unit exams and quizzes based on content standards.
- A maximum of 20% based on formative assignments: class assignments and practice
Practice work and assignments will be used as an opportunity for teachers to give meaningful feedback to students.
Grades are always available to view online via Infinite Campus.

Middle and High School Report Cards
