Standardized Achievement Testing
SAT tests are given annually to all Heartland Christian Academy students, grades K-5 and up, during the month of March.

Grading Scale
The following grade scale is utilized by all schools in Osceola County:

A 90-100 4.0 (O, Outstanding Progress)
B 80-89 3.0 (VG, Above Average Progress)
C 70-79 2.0 (S, Average Progress)
D 60-69 1.0 (N, Lowest Acceptable Progress)
F 0-59 0 (U, Failure)
0 (Incomplete)

At the middle school and high school level, a numerical average is determined by the teacher at the end of each nine week grading period, and the corresponding letter grade, as determined by the grading scale, is recorded on the report card. If a semester examination is given, the numerical examination score is also converted to the corresponding letter grade and reported on the report card.
