Seattle Public Schools is joining others in handing out automatic As to students during the coronavirus pandemic.

The district’s board of directors approved a new grading policy for high school students on Monday that they’ve dubbed “A or Incomplete,” and it’s exactly like it sounds: students either receive an A or an incomplete for the current semester, MYNorthwest reports.

“After looking at several options, we determined the ‘A or Incomplete’ policy is the best option to make sure the extended school building closure doesn’t harm any of our students, particularly those furthest from educational justice,” Superintendent Denise Juneau said in a prepared statement.

District officials said they arrived at the temporary solution to final grades for the spring 2020 semester after reviewing several options that also included a “credit/no-credit” system, normal letter grades, and freezing grades as of March 10, 2020.

SPS stressed that “grading has been one of the biggest sources of inequities in education because student performance may be influenced by factors outside of a student’s control.” Officials reportedly used a Racial Equity Analysis Tool to design the new grading policy to be fair for all students.

“Of course, nothing can replace normal in-class teaching and grading, but I believe this is the best option for the unprecedented challenges our students are facing,” board president Zachary DeWolf said. “With the ‘A or Incomplete’ policy, we’re ensuring that no students are penalized because they might not have some advantages at home that other students have.”

Other large school districts are taking a similar approach.

The San Francisco Unified School District’s board of education discussed the possibility of doling out As to all during a recent board meeting and plan to take action on the idea later this month, KPIX reports.

“Why not just give students As?” board member Alison Collins proposed at the meeting. “Let’s just consider this a wash and give all students As.”

Other board members signaled support for the idea. San Francisco closed schools on March 16 for the coronavirus and have been plagued with issues transitioning 62,000 students to online learning.

“I’m happy to give everybody an A, as well,” board member Rachel Norton said. “I do want to be sure, however, we are not putting our individual students in jeopardy by doing so.”

The all As proposal would certainly offer a boost to many of San Francisco’s struggling students. Last year, less than 60% of students met or exceeded Common Core standards in English (56%) and math (51%), according to a SFUSD press release.

It’s a similar situation in Seattle. At Chief Sealth International High School, for example, only 37.5% of students met math standards, while only 18.1% tested proficient in science. At South Lake High School, only 31% of students graduate on time, and only 10% met science standards.

Many other school districts are adopting “pass/fail” or “credit/no-credit” grading systems, or allowing students to choose how they want to be graded.

In Denver Public Schools, students can chose between their grade on April 6 – the day before schools transitioned to online learning – or a simple “credit” or “no-credit” mark. District officials initially planned to go with the “credit/no-credit” system by came to a compromise after students and parents complained.

“One student said, ‘I’ve worked so hard to have straight As this semester for the first time in my high school career and now it’s not going to count,” Northfield High School Principal Amy Bringedahl told Chalkbeat.
