Grading Scale

The following classes offered to J-WMS students are high school credit courses and final grades are calculated into your GPA (grade point average):

Report Cards

Our school year consists of four grade reporting periods. The first quarter ends in mid-October, the 2nd quarter and semester end in January. The third quarter ends in mid-to-late March, the end of the 4th quarter with final grades ends with the school year in June. Report cards are sent out within seven working days from the end of a grading period.

Interim reports are sent home via email for parent review four to five weeks into each grading period. These reports reflect the progress a student has made since the last reporting period.

SOL Information

The Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools describe the Commonwealth's expectations for student learning and achievement in grades K-12 in English, mathematics, science, history/social science, technology, the fine arts, foreign language, health and physical education, and driver education.

These standards represent a broad consensus of what parents, classroom teachers, school administrators, academics, and business and community leaders believe schools should teach and students should learn.

Our testing windows begin in March, with the Writing portion of the 8th Grade Standards, and picks up again in May with the completion of the remainder of testing.

Johnson-Williams Middle School, along with all Clarke County Public Schools, believes that our success with Virginia Department of Education's Virginia Assessment Program reflects our commitment to all children learning at high levels. Providing an exceptional education during the middle school years is key to the success of students throughout their lifetime. As our students continue to improve, both academically and individually, J-WMS's first goal is to ensure the successful preparation of every child for any aspiration that they have.
