Albuquerque Public Schools issued the following announcement on April 8.
Students in Grades 9-11 Will Receive a P (pass) or N (no pass) for Second Semester Grades
Why Pass or No Pass
The decision to move to a “pass” or “no pass” grade for high school students was made with considerable thought and deliberation by district leadership. Cumulative grades will not be impacted positively or negatively by the grading policy.
Students will continue to benefit this semester from weighted credits for AP and honors classes. Class rankings will continue to be calculated in compliance with district procedural directive: "For the purposes of calculating GPA and class rank for seniors, calculation will be made at the end of the seventh semester. The top ten (10) students will be determined at the end of the final semester.”
Many universities across the country have moved to this grading model in response to closures.
