 DepEd Grading System for
School Year 2022-2023
The K to 12 Education Program uses
standards and a competency-based grading
system. These are found in the curriculum
guides. The minimum grade needed to pass a
specific learning area is 60, which is
transmuted to 75 on the report card. The
lowest mark on the report card is 60 for
Quarterly Grades and Final Grades.
 DepEd Grading System for
School Year 2022-2023
To supplement DepEd Order 12, s. 2020 titled
Adoption of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan
(BE-LCP) for School Year (SY) 2020-2021 in light of the
COVID-19 Pandemic, DepEd Order No. 31, s. 2020 titled
Interim Policy Guidelines for Assessment and Grading in
Light of the Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan,
discusses guidance on the assessment and student learning
and on the grading scheme to be adopted this school year
which is still basically anchored on DepEd Order No. 8, s.
2015 titled Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for
the K to 12 Basic Education Program.
How Is a Learner’s Progress Computed?
Grades 7 to 12
To evaluate student learning at particular points
in each quarter, summative assessments shall
continue in the form of written works (at least 4) and
performance tasks (at least 4).
Written works shall be administered to assess
essential knowledge and understandings through
quizzes and long/unit tests. Items should be
distributed across the Cognitive Process Dimensions
(DepEd, 2015,p. 4) using a combination of selected-
response and constructed-response formats so that
all are adequately covered.

Grades 7 to 12
Performance tasks refer to assessment tasks that
“allow learners to show what they know and are able to
do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products
or do performance-based tasks [including] skill
demonstrations, group presentations, oral work,
multimedia presentations, and research projects. It is
important to note that written outputs may also be
considered as performance tasks” (DepEd, 2015, pp. 7-
8). Thus, it is very essential that the rubric to be used is
clear to the learners. Teachers may use existing rubrics or
may contextualize one.
 How Are Grades Computed at the End
of the School Year?
Grades 7 to 12
Written works and performance tasks shall be
administered to assess the content and performance
standards that describe the knowledge, abilities, and skills
that the learners are expected to demonstrate. These
tasks could be designed to include the following:
a. Student’s Learning Portfolio – This includes all the
pieces of evidence of learning within the grading period
including self-reflections, self-evaluations of performance
tasks guided by rubrics, and self-selected outputs in
learning modules.

of the School Year?
b. Minimum of four (4) written works and four (4)
performance tasks within the quarter, preferably
one in two weeks integrating two or more
competencies.

c. All competencies should be covered by the

performance tasks.

 How Is the Learner’s Progress
Reported?
The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents
and guardians through a parent-teacher conference, in which the
report card is discussed through the applicable platform. The grading
scale, with its corresponding descriptors, is described below.
Remarks are given at the end of the grade level.
