Blackbaud does not calculate the year cumulative grade the way our school does (or really any school I know). It calculates it by averaging every grade in the gradebook together rather than using the average of the marking period grades. Therefore, the grade listed is always inaccurate which means our students sometimes think they have a higher semester average than they actually do. 

We would like the ability to globally turn this feature off rather than rely on every teacher in the buildings to turn it off.
