Understanding the DepEd Transmutation Table: A Guide for Teachers & Parents
Learn how K-12 raw score averages translate to report card grades, view the complete transmutation lookup ranges, and calculate grades accurately.
Overview
Calculating grades under the Department of Education (DepEd) system can be confusing due to the non-linear conversion step known as **transmutation**. Raw weighted scores do not map directly to final grades. Instead, they are converted using a specific lookup system to ensure a floor grade of 60 and a passing mark of 75. Below is the complete guide explaining how this transmutation works.
How DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 Weights Grades
Final grades are computed by combining three summative assessment components. The weights vary by subject area:
- Languages, AP, EsP (Grades 1-10): Written Work (30%) | Performance Tasks (50%) | Quarterly Assessment (20%)
- Science & Math (Grades 1-10): Written Work (40%) | Performance Tasks (40%) | Quarterly Assessment (20%)
- MAPEH & TLE (Grades 1-10): Written Work (20%) | Performance Tasks (60%) | Quarterly Assessment (20%)
- Senior High School (Core): Written Work (25%) | Performance Tasks (50%) | Quarterly Assessment (25%)

Here are the key lookup ranges showing how raw score percentages convert to final card grades:
| Raw score Percentage | Transmuted Report Grade |
|---|---|
| 100.00% | 100 |
| 96.80% - 99.99% | 98 - 99 |
| 90.40% - 95.19% | 94 - 96 |
