GRADING SYSTEM & GPA Grading Scale: A= 90-100, B=80-89, C= 70-79, D= 65-69, F = 0-64 • The high rate of student turnover in international schools and the diversity of assessment practices and procedures in the schools and school systems from which our students arrive prevent EARJ from producing meaningful rankings and cumulative GPAs; therefore, Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro neither ranks students nor reports a formal GPA.
