Our system, very simple:

90s = A = 4.0
80s = B = 3.0
…
50s = E = 0.0

There is no F, because it lowers self esteem.
AP classes and Honors classes add 1(so A = 5.0, B=4.0)

There is also the 50% rule. You cannot get below 50 on anything if you did the work. For example, you take a test and attempt one problem…50%. At the teacher’s discretion of course.
