Potential Abstract: This research study examines the impact of traditional grading practices on students of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, particularly Asian Pacific Islander (API) students. Despite the growing emphasis on equitable education, there is a lack of in-depth analysis on how grading practices may contribute to disparities in academic outcomes among racial groups. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating how grading systems may disadvantage API students in particular, as they are often overlooked in discussions of race and education. Through a critical examination of existing literature and qualitative data collection, this research seeks to challenge current grading paradigms and shed light on the complexities of evaluating student performance in a diverse educational landscape. By centering the experiences of API students, this study aims to generate new insights and recommendations for educators and policymakers to create more inclusive and equitable grading practices that support the academic success of all students.
