The document provides guidelines for rating elementary school pupils in the Philippines. It outlines four levels of assessment - knowledge, process/skills, understanding, and products/performances - and how each will be assessed and scored. Various subjects are discussed, along with how to compute quarterly, yearly, and general average ratings. Pupils must achieve a level of "Approaching Proficiency" or higher in their general average to be promoted to the next grade level. Intervention is required for pupils achieving lower levels to help them improve.

26. How to
compute?

27. II. SAMPLE COMPUTATION
OF PUPIL RATING
To determine the rating for the
learning area in a grading
period, which includes Mother
Tongue,

28. get the average of all the
ratings entered in the
Class Record under
each measure of
achievement.

29. Multiply the result by
the corresponding
percentage weight.

31. 12 + 10 (22 ÷ 30) X
100
KNOWLEDGE

32. (22 ÷ 25) X
100

36. 13 + 8 (21 ÷ 25) X

37. 18 + 8 (26 ÷ 30) X

38. Score

PROCESS / SKILLS

39. (84.00 + 86.67 + 60.00) ÷
3
76.89 X 0.25

41. III. MARKING for MAPEH
each of the four (4)
component areas shall be
taught separately and
pupils will be rated per
component area

42. There shall be one
rating for MAPEH, which
is the average of the
four component areas.

43. MAPEH 88
MUSIC 84 AP
ART 88 P
P.E. 90 A
HEALTH 89 P
84 + 88 + 90 + 89 = 351
351 ÷ 4 = 87.75 round to
88

44. MAPEH 88 P
MUSIC 84 AP
ART 88 P
P.E. 90 A
HEALTH 89 P
88 is within 85-89
Therefore, Level of Proficiency
is P

45. IV. Marking for Oral Fluency
in Filipino and English
Like the other learning
areas, assessment of
Oral Fluency in Filipino
and English shall also be
at four (4) levels

46. Knowledge (15%)
Process/Skills (25%)
Understandings (30%)
Product/Performance (30%)
Oral tests shall be given with
corresponding rubrics.

47. FILIPINO
• For the first semester (second
grading period), pupils shall be
assessed on oral fluency
• During the second semester,
pupils shall be rated the way they
are rated in the other learning
areas.

48. ENGLISH
For English which will be
introduced during the second
semester, pupils will be
assessed on oral fluency

49. For the computation of pupil’s
rating for Oral Filipino and
English, activities can be
used for this purpose with the
aid of Rubrics.

50. V. ASSESSING THE MOTHER
TONGUE SUBJECT
Since MT is a language subject,
its assessment follows the four
levels of assessment with its
corresponding weight and the
level of proficiency as indicated
in DO No. 31 s. 2012.

51. MT should not be treated as a
different or distinct subject from the
rest of the subjects.
Oral language proficiency of the
students and small and big group
activities will be measured using the
rubrics.

52. VI. MARKING FOR CHARACTER
TRAITS
Existing Guidelines
stipulated in DepEd Order
No. 33, s. 2004 for Marking
Character Traits shall be
applied.

54. VII. Scoring Quizzes and
Periodic Test
(Refer to DepEd Order No. 33, s. 2004,
Paragraph 5)
Transmutation table shall not
be used in computing grades.

55. Test scores for quizzes shall be
recorded as raw scores, totaled
at the end of a grading period
and then computed as
percentage (Pupils Total Score ÷
Highest Possible Score x 100).

56. Periodic test score shall also
be computed as percentage
using the same formula.

57. VIII. Rating Oral Participation, Group
Participation, Projects, Performances,
Homework, Experiments, Portfolio, and
others
Rubrics shall be utilized for rating
individual or group participation,
project, performances etc. (Teachers
are encouraged to prepare their own rubrics)

58. IX .Computation of the Final Rating
for each Learning Area
To determine the Final rating
for each learning area, get the
average of the numerical
values of the four (4)
quarters.

59. Learning Areas 1 2 3 4 Final
Rating
Filipino 88 90 91 92 90
English
Mathematics
Araling Panlipunan
MAPEH
Mother Tongue
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao
88 + 90 + 91 + 92 = 361
361 ÷ 4 = 90.25 round to 90

60. The final rating in numerical
value which is 90.00 shall not
be entered into the progress
report card but its descriptive
equivalent. In this case 90 is
Advanced (A).

61. X. Computation of the
General Average
To arrive at the General Average of
the pupil, add all the numerical
ratings for the Descriptive
Equivalents under the column for
Final Ratings in the Progress Report
card. Divide the sum by the number
of learning areas in the grade level.

62. Learning Areas Final Rating
Filipino 87 P
English 88 P
Mathematics 86 P
Araling Panlipunan 89 P
MAPEH 90 A
Mother Tongue 92 A
Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao 91 A
General Average 89
87 + 88 + 86 + 89 + 90 + 92 + 91 = 623
623 ÷7 = 89

63. The General Average which is
89 shall be entered in the
Progress Report card beside
its descriptive equivalent
which is Proficient. However,
it shall be written enclosed by
parentheses as in P (89).

64. XII. Rounding Numbers
Rounding Numbers to the nearest whole
number is applied when computing for the
•rating of each learning area for
a quarter
•final rating of each learning area
•general average.

65. When rounding to the
nearest whole numbers, if
the digit to the right of the
digit where rounding is to
be done is 5 and above,
round up otherwise, round
down.

66. For the selection of honors /
ranking purposes, “rounding
numbers” SHALL NOT BE
APPLIED for the following:
•Final rating for each learning
area
•General Average

67. XII. Promotion and Intervention
• PROMOTED TO THE NEXT GRADE LEVEL
Pupils with general average belonging to the
following levels of proficiency:
Advanced (A)
Proficient (P)
Approaching Proficiency (AP)
Developing (D)

68. However, appropriate
intervention is
necessary for those at
the Developing Level.

69. Pupils at the Beginning (B) Level
of proficiency after a specific
quarter for any learning area,
shall be provided with immediate
and appropriate intervention or
referred to special programs in
order to cope with the rest of the
class.

70. Pupils at the Beginning (B) Level
of Proficiency as the general
average after a school year,
despite the interventions provided,
shall take make-up or summer
classes in the learning areas
where he/she needs help to be
able to cope up in the next grade
level.
