ā¢ GC high school, junior high change course on grading scale (greenfieldreporter.com) ā Greenfield-Central High School and Junior High are dropping their letter-grade system and returning to a traditional 100-point scale starting with the 2026-27 school year. Leaders say the change should simplify grading, improve communication with families, and prevent a single bad assignment from derailing studentsā overall performance. Minimum scores will be 40% at the high school and 50% at the junior high.
