Hey there, Quick question - When do most high schools usually require grades to be due? Any help would be appreciated.
Grade submission deadlines in high schools generally depend on the school district's calendar. However, it's common for schools to have end-of-term marks ready for report cards about one week following the completion of the term. This allows teachers to finalize grading after final exams or end-of-term projects.
In a standard academic year, this typically pans out as follows:
1. Fall Semester (End of Term 1): Grades are often due in mid-December right before winter break.
2. Spring Semester (End of Term 2): Grades are frequently required in late-May or early-June, depending on the end of the school year.
Note that these timeframes represent the final deadlines for grade submission but teachers usually have an ongoing grading process throughout the term.
It's always a good idea to check with your specific school to understand their reporting schedule. If you're interested in knowing your grades sooner, you can ask your teachers if they provide grade updates throughout the semester. Many have adopted online gradebooks that allow students (and parents) to track their progress throughout the term.
