内申点

• 読み: ないしんてん

意味

Internal school report scores used for high school and university admissions, reflecting grades, behavior, and extracurriculars.

内申点 are the scores that teachers compile in a student's official school record (内申書/調査書). These scores significantly influence high school admissions in Japan, as many public high schools weigh them alongside entrance exam results. Students stress about 内申点 because it means every test, assignment, and even classroom attitude matters for their future. Teachers have significant power through this system.

例文

1. 内申点が足りないと推薦もらえないから、テスト頑張らないと。
2. 内申点のために先生に気に入られようとするの疲れる。
3. 内申点って都道府県で計算方法違うの知ってた？
