The marking system uses letter grades (see above) that are converted to a grade point value using a 4.0 scale. All grades are un-weighted
and grade point averages are shown on the transcript. Fremont Union High School District policy prohibits the reporting of student class
rank. It is our district practice that all students with out of country transcripts will only receive Pass/Fail grades in their transcript.
Due to the extraordinary circumstances resulting from COVID-19 school closures, FUHSD adopted a Credit/No Credit structure for
Spring of 2020. During that time, students completed synchronous and asynchronous assignments in order to earn credits.
Final semester grade marks include letter grades only and no +/- scale option
