IMHO, setting school-wide grading standards on a percentage of points possible makes absolutely no sense at all (from a psychometric perspective). The percentage of points achieved by each student depends upon difficulty level of the test, type of test, preparation provided by the instructor, and a host of other factors--all of which have nothing to do with the quality of the students' performance. You are better off with narrative definitions of each letter grade.
