Statewide grading system debated amid varying county policies
County authorities set own grading scales causing A grades to differ across counties. Mercer County reports an A as 95 to 100 while others use 90 to 100. Critics want a uniform standard though supporters back the 2.0 quality point requirement and view it as motivating. McDowell County aligns A 93–100, B 85–92, C 77–84, D 70–77, creating mobility concerns for students moving between counties and states.
