A weighted Grade Point Average (GPA), which rewards students for taking Honors and AP Courses, is used. In calculating the GPA, numerical grades in honors classes will be increased by three (3) points while grades in AP classes will be increased by six (6) points. These increases will not be displayed on report cards and will only be used in calculating the GPA.
The term GPA will refer to the weighted GPA. The GPA will only be calculated and stored after midterm exams and at the conclusion of the school year.
A GPA based on the commonly used 4.0 scale can be calculated manually, retroactively applying the College Board grade scale to all historical grades if colleges require. This grade point average is not used in any academic recognition programs.
The academic year is divided into four marking periods of approximately 45 days each. Report card information may be interpreted as follows:
LETTER GRADE | PERCENTAGE GRADE |
A+ | 97-100 |
A | 93-96 |
A- | 90-92 |
B+ | 87-89 |
B | 83-86 |
B- | 80-82 |
C+ | 77-79 |
C | 73-76 |
C- | 70-72 |
D+ | 67-69 |
D | 65-66 |
F | 0-64 |
