GPA and Class Rank
|
|
Class rank is computed beginning with grade 9. The GPA for class rank is a weighted “academic” average (i.e. grades only from courses in the areas of English, Social Studies, Math, Science, and Foreign Language are used to compute the GPA). The weighted scale includes an additional quality point for each Honors and Accelerated course taken with a final grade of a “C” or better and an additional 1.5 quality points for each AP course taken with a final grade of a “C” or better. Grades transferred from other schools are included in the class rank. Only highest level honors courses are given an additional quality point. Fractional weight is not included. Additional weight is not given to courses taken at a school where honors courses are not offered.

Students who receive grades of D, I, U, or F in non-core content areas are not elibible for the honor roll. A GPA of 4.0 = Distinguished Honors; a GPA of 3.0-3.9 = Honors. |
