All About The New K To 12 Grading System

The document discusses the new K-12 grading system implemented by the Department of Education in the Philippines. Some key points: - The new competency-based system uses fewer components (written works, performance tasks, quarterly assessments) compared to the old system. - Scores on the three components make up a student's summative assessment. Weights vary by subject area. - A new transmutation table converts initial grades to quarterly and final grades. - Minimum passing grade is 60 but converts to 75 on report cards. The system aims to make grading simpler for teachers.

All about the New K to 12

Grading System
Under D.O. No. 8, s.2015 effective school year 2015-2016, the Department of Education or
DepEd will follow a new competency based grading system for K-12 Basic Education
Program. Compared to the former Knowledge, Process, Understanding, and Performances
or KPUP grading system, the latest will use fewer grading system components and a new
transmutation table.

All public schools from kindergarten to senior high school must comply. Although not
required, DepEd urges private schools to follow same guidelines. Non-DepEd schools, on
the other hand, can adjust their policies in line to their mission and vision but with the
approval of the DepEd Regional Office.

Under this order, all the Written Works, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment
or WW-PT-QA scores of students from Grades 1 to 12 will be the base of their summative
assessment results. These three have specific percentage weights that vary based on the
nature of the learning area.

New Senior High School Grading


System Components

 Written Work (WW) – makes sure students can express skills and contents in
written form
 Performance Tasks (PT) – lets learners show what they know and can do in
diverse ways
 Quarterly Assessment (QA) – measures student learning at the end of the
quarter

How to Record and Compute


Your Grades Based on K to 12
Grading System
Every grading period, the students must complete one quarterly assessment and several
written works and performance tasks. There’s no required number of WW and PT but these
must be spread out over the quarter and used to assess students’ skills after each unit has
been taught.

How to Compute Your Final Grade and


General Average
Follow the steps below to compute your final grades.

1. Add up all the total score for each component.


2. Convert the sum for each component to percentage score. Divide the total raw score
by the highest possible score, then multiply the quotient by 100%.
3. Convert the percentage scores to weighted scores. Multiply the PS by the weight of
the component listed in Table 1.

TABLE 1. WEIGHT OF COMPONENTS FOR SHS

4. Sum up the weighted scores of each component to get the initial grade.
5. Transmute the initial grade to get the quarterly grade using the new transmutation
table.

How to Compute Your Grades at the


End of the School Year
For grades 11 and 12, the two quarters will dictate your final grade in a semester. Your
teacher will show your parent or guardian the summary of your progress quarterly via
parent-teacher meetings. The grading scale, with descriptor and remarks, are given at the
end of your grade level.

What Are the Perks of the New
K to 12 Grading System 
Unlike the KPUP, the new k to 12 grading system has 60 as minimum grade but will have a
converted rating of 75 in the report card. The lowest grade a student can get is rather 60 for
the quarterly and final grades. Since the new grading system also used fewer components
and launched a new transmutation table, it makes it simpler for teachers to compute the
grades.
