Students who take High School
courses prior to high school (e.g. algebra, geometry, physical science,
world language) will receive credit when achieving a course grade of 70
and passing the credit test.
However, the grades for the class will not be used in the
calculation the student’s high school GPA.
For purposes of determining honor graduates (e.g.
top 10, top 10%, valedictorian, salutatorian, etc.) ranking in senior
class will be calculated on ALL high school course work, grades 9-12.
For high school transfer students, the cumulative
GPA on the transcript for transferred work will be used without any
recalculation other than conversion to a 4-point scale as the beginning
point to combine with in-system courses.
All students who are enrolled for the entire final semester of the
senior year will be included in the class ranking and in determination
of honor graduates and honor recognition as graduating seniors.
The grades used on report cards and transcripts may
be interpreted as follows:
- A--the work is exemplary and has been completed in a
timely and independent manner. The work shows the student’s high
level of understanding or performance.
- B--The work is above average and has been completed in a
timely manner. The work shows the student’s above-average
level of understanding or performance.
- C--The work is satisfactory and may or may not have been
completed in a timely and/or independent manner.
- F--The student has not attempted the work or the student
has failed to complete the work.
