If I have a 72 average in US History and I fail my EOC which is 15% of my grade, will I fail the class.

My grade last quarter was a 66 and this quarter is a 79 and overall my average is 72. 60 and below is failing in my district. If I fail this EOC will I fail the course?

If you are correct in the value of the final test and your overall current average for the rest of the year, then you should be okay with passing for the year. Obviously, I would suggest you put your best effort into doing well on the EOC test. However, with your 72% average overall being worth 85% of your grade (100% total grade minus 15% EOC value), your raw score is about a 61% if you scored a 0% on the EOC based on the information you gave. On the other hand, if you were to hypothetically score 100% on the EOC test, your overall average may go up to a 76% for the year. Just try your best on the test. If you need help, I’m happy to work with you to help you prepare! Feel free to reach out!

If your overall average is 72 and the EOC is 15% of your grade, even if you get a 0 on the EOC, it would reduce your overall grade by 15% of 60 (the failing grade), which is 9 points. This would bring your overall average down to 63, which is above the failing threshold of 60 in your district. So, even if you fail the EOC, you should not fail the course based on these numbers. However, is this your quarter grade, your semester grade, or your EOY grade? Because these are different grades towards calculating.
