Types of Reporting System
• There is no single way of reporting the level of achievement of the students
• Different schools utilize different symbols to describe and report the level of performance of their students
• These can be numbers, percentages, letter grade equivalents and descriptions
The succeeding table presents an example of reporting grades for tertiary level.

Grading System of
Public Elementary
and Secondary
Schools
• In case of basic education, the grading system being used is based on DepEd order number 33, series 2004, replacing the DECS order NO.70, series 1998. the new grading system of DepEd is about giving grades that are mainly based on the students’ performance. The features of the new grading system are the following:
1. The lowest grade or the minimum performance standard for the students in public elementary and secondary schools is set at 75%. The lowest falling grade that may appear in the report card is set at 65%.
2. The same standard shall apply to students in the bridge program.
3. In assessing the learning outcomes, the construction of test items consist of basic terms(factual information ) 60%, moderately difficult or more advanced questions 30%, and higher order thinking skills (items for distinguishing honor students 10%. Questions in each category should have different weights. Test and non – test items should cover only materials actually taken up in the class.
4. Grading system by subject shall follow the guidelines in enclosure 1 and enclosure 2 of DepEd order 33, series 2004.
5. Transmutation tables shall not be used in the computation grades. Test scores shall be recorded as raw scores, totaled at the end of each grading period, and then computed as percentage [(student’s score ÷ highest possible) x 100%]. This is also known as the Table of Equivalence
6. The final grade shall be determined by averaging the marks for the four quarters. In the case of secondary level, averaging across quarters shall be by subject only.
7. Promotion at the secondary level shall be by subject.
