Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind School Grades
UTAH CODE School Grading Act 53a-1-1110 states, “(2) notwithstanding subsection (1), and subject to subsection (3), for a school year in which at least 65% of schools described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) receive an a or a b, the board shall increase an endpoint of a range described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) by five percentage points over the previous school year.”
For the school year 2015-2016, more than 65% of Utah’s schools were assigned a letter grade of an A or B. Therefore, new grade range percentages are now applied. As a result of the change, several schools may see a decrease in their letter grade. Please see the following table.
| Grade | Elementary | High School | ||
| 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | 2016 | |
| A | 64%-100% | 69%-100% | 64%-100% | 69%-100% |
| B | 51%-63% | 56%-68% | 51%-63% | 56%-69% |
| C | 39%-50% | 44%-55% | 43%-50% | 48%-55% |
| D | 30%-38% | 35%-43% | 40%-42% | 45%-47% |
| F | <30% | <35% | <40% | <45% |
