The Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) protocol for retakes, cases in which a student earns a grade below 80% on a major assessment, limits retake grades to 80%, even if that student scores a 100% the second time. The amount of knowledge someone has garnered in a unit at the end of their retake is disregarded.
