A cumulative grade point average is computed for every student at the end of each academic year. All subjects, including independent study, are averaged, with the exception of physical education, financial literacy math, pass/fail courses, eighth grade courses, and college courses taken for college credit.
Students in honors and Advanced Placement courses receive a weighting of +1 for grades of C+ or better in determining their grade point average (no extra weighting for grades below C+). The GPA is based on all courses except PE and some electives.
HONORS
Honor Roll is determined by the student's grade point average at the end of the first semester and at the end of the year as follows:
- Highest Honors: 4.00
- High Honors: 3.70
- Honors: 3.40
Honors at graduation is determined by the student's cumulative grade point average on a scale as follows:
- Highest Honors: 4.00
- High Honors: 3.70
- Honors: 3.40
For a student to be on the Honor Roll, no single academic grade may be below B-, except in honors courses where no grade may be below C+. A student must also have a B- or better in Physical Education to be on the Honor Roll. A student may not graduate with Honors, High Honors or Highest Honors if she has an F or more than one D as a final average in a course.
