GPA CALCULATION
GPA is computed using a numerical grade average. Adding the numerical semester grade of each course attempted at the high school level and dividing the total number by the number of courses attempted determines a student’s grade point average. Honors, AP, and dual credit classes are weighted an extra 10 points for each semester in which the student completes the designated advanced class with a passing semester grade. Credits earned in summer school, before entering the 9 th grade, or through credit-by-exam or correspondence are not used to calculate a student’s GPA.
GPA/RANK IN CLASS
School policy eliminated class rank beginning with the Class of 2011 except for the valedictorian and salutatorian of the graduating class.
