Get answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), watch txGradebook videos and more online!


A frequently asked question this grade reporting time is the one that appears below:
The Semester Average appears to be pulling only from quarter 2, and it mirrors the quarter average. How was the average determined?
One response includes the following:
All grades from the Semester are combined together. When that happens, either the Power Law or Average takes effect. If there are standards that are taught in the first 9 weeks, not the second, the grades for that standard are still part of the 2nd nine weeks' grade.  
As a result, the 2nd nine weeks grade and the semester grade are the same. The first semester grade and the second semester grade are then averaged to get the final grade for the year.
