Honor Roll

At the end of each grading period students are recognized for outstanding academic achievement by having their names posted on the school’s honor roll. Note: No individual who has "D," "F," or an "incomplete" at the end of the grading period will be eligible for the honor roll.

  • Highest Honors: 4.0 and above
  • High Honor Roll: 3.75 – 3.99
  • Honor Roll: 3.20 – 3.74

 

GPA Calculations

The unweighted (base) GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of credits attempted during each 9 week grading period. Quality points are determined by the following letter grade values:

A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.

Grade point averages are cumulative calculations of all earned grades that occur during each 9 week grading period including quarterly exams.

 

Weighted GPA equals the Unweighted GPA + Add-on weight for honors, CHS, and AP classes. Add-on weighted values are as follows:

  • Advanced Placement (AP) - 0.08 for full year, 0.02 per quarter
  • College in High School (CHS) - 0.08 for full year, 0.02 per quarter
  • Honors - 0.04 for full year, 0.01 per quarter

Students may take as many weighted courses for which they qualify, but the weight obtained each year will be capped at the following:

  • Freshman year: 0.26 cap using available CHS and Honors course weights
  • Sophomore year: 0.34 cap using available AP, CHS, and Honors course weights
  • Junior year: 0.48 cap using available AP, CHS, and Honors course weights
  • Senior year: 0.48 cap using available AP, CHS, and Honors course weights

*In weighted courses, students must obtain a "C" grade (70%) or better and complete the course to earn the weighted add-on for the course.

 

Both weighted and unweighted GPA are reported on the transcript.
