Shelton Upper School Profile
• Learning differences include Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Math Disorder, Written Language Disorder,
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Speech and Oral Language Disorders.
• Shelton School emphasizes an individualized, structured, multisensory
approach to teaching and learning.
Grading
• All grades on transcripts and report cards are numeric, based on a 100-point scale.
The passing mark is 70%.
• The cumulative grade point average does not include physical education/athletics
courses with the exception of Health.
• A modified designation next to a course title on a transcript indicates that the curriculum
in that course has been modified for a specific student. The modifications may include less
content, less complexity, and/or fewer and shorter assignments than the regular course.
Posted grades are grades earned, but grades on the transcript are reduced by five points
when the cumulative grade average is computed.
• An honors designation next to a course title on a transcript indicates a course with more
in-depth content, more rigor, and more outside reading assignments than a regular course.
Posted grades are actual grades, but are automatically increased by five points when the
cumulative grade average is computed.
• Advanced Placement courses are not offered at Shelton School.
