GPA/Class Rank

Students receive class rank and GPA three times during grades 9-12:

• February of the junior year
• September of the senior year
• February of the senior year.

Rising seniors will receive their new class ranks and GPA sometime after Labor Day this year. They will be distributed through English classes as soon as we receive them from downtown.

GPAs are calculated using the following guidelines:

• Final course grades are used as grades for both first and second semesters in the GPA calculation formula. In other words, the final grade is doubled to represent the course grade for the year.
  • Double points for year long classes and add together
  • Add points for semester classes
  • Divide by the total number of semesters attempted
• To determine an unweighted GPA, total points (disregarding the additional quality points awarded for upper level courses) are divided by the total number of semesters attempted.
• To determine a weighted GPA, total quality points (weighted and unweighted) are divided by the number of semesters attempted.
• The number of quality points a student may earn for a particular course is determined by a combination of the student’s grade in the course and the academic level of the course, as follows:
