Grading — Kinetic assessment
Mastery thresholds (80%+), graded discussion and participation, and project-based rubrics; GPA on a 4.0 scale (weighted 5.0 for AP, Honors, and Dual Credit).
Academic integrity
Students are expected to submit original work, cite their sources honestly, and use AI within the bounds set for each assignment. Integrity is taught, not just enforced — it is one of our schoolwide learner outcomes, and it is where our approach to responsible AI is put into practice.
