Students enrolled in JROTC are evaluated in
conformance with the grading guidelines published by the Kern High School
District.
Specifics
A cadet's level of performance will be
measured by his instructor using oral, written, practical performance and
observation tests, as well as the factors below.
- The cadet's attitude in carrying out orders issued by military
instructors, cadet officers and noncommissioned officers, and school staff and
faculty members.
- Participation in announced JROTC activities and the degree of
cooperativeness and application hereto. The Regional Formal Inspection
is a major examination, and since this inspection is held only one day every
other year, no makeup is possible.
- The cadet's manner of performance during inspection, drill
practice, parades, and ceremonies.
- The cadet's overall demonstrated courtesy and discipline and
classroom decorum, not only in JROTC classes but also throughout the school.
- Additionally, the military instructors will take into
consideration wearing of the uniform prescribed days and the manner in which
it is worn. That is, evaluations are made of haircuts, shaves, shoes
shined, brass polished, cleanliness and pressing of uniforms, and the proper
placement of brass, name tags and awards and decorations.
Determining Student Grades
The following grading policy applies to all
cadets for academic and leadership performance. To determine your grade
for an activity, divide the total possible points for the activity (test,
homework, etc.) into the total number correct.
100% and up = A+
70% - 79% = C
90% - 99% = A 60% - 69% = D
80% - 89% = B 59% and down = F

Merits are awarded to cadets for
outstanding performance of extra curricular or off time activities.
Demerits are given for infractions of discipline, the
Cadet Code of Conduct, or for any reason involving disobedience of orders or
acts of insubordination committed within the scope of JROTC activities.
Merits and demerits may be recommended by any
noncommissioned officer or cadet commissioned officer senior in rank to the
person being recommended for merits or demerits.
Recommendations must be written on the
merits/demerits forms and forwarded to the individual's company commander.
The Senior Army Instructor will review and approve or
disapprove all recommendations before merits or demerits are awarded.
If a cadet feels that he/she has received
merits/demerits unjustly, the cadet may appear before the appeal board to
present the case. The board findings will be final upon approval of the
SAI.
