midterm grade

Halfway academic score

A midterm grade is an assessment of a student's performance issued partway through an academic term, typically around the halfway point.

It reflects work completed so far and may serve as an early warning for struggling students: Her midterm grades were disappointing, but she still had time to improve.

Some institutions use midterm grades officially; others treat them as informal progress reports.
