Assignments Not Calculating into Final Grade

astabile — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 15:53:57 GMT

Hello, I am having trouble with a specific class and entering assignments. I have the categories and weights set up correctly as far as I can tell however when I enter grades in certain categories, it does not impact the final grade. I will post screenshots of the weights, assignments, and an example of the grade not working. Any idea why the calculations are not working?

Here are the weights:

Here are two assignments I am trying to enter in:

Here are there grades calculated before (The classwork category is working):

And here are the grades after I enter assignments into the quizzes and projects categories. The overall grade does not change

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You should review the grade calculation you are using for Q3. Are you weighting the correct categories?

Thank you for your reply

The first picture in my post is the grading weights for Q3. Is there another place to double check it? I believe it is correct but to be fair I am new to using powerschool

Ugh I did not notice that. Sorry about that! You may want to check if you are using the drop low scores option which you can see via the Drop Low Scores tab on the calculation setup.

You need to have at least one assignment in EVERY category. Unless they are not shown in the screenshot you only have two categories utilized. Try entering a score in the other missing three as well.
