Grade Point Average/Class Ranking
Calculations for the initial rank in class are completed in the fall of the student’s senior year and are based on the high school credits earned to that point. The final rank in class is computed in February of the student’s senior year and includes final grades for the first semester courses. Grades for high school courses computed in grades seven and eight are accepted for credit toward earning a diploma and used in calculating the student’s final GPA.
Students are no longer being ranked for purposes of determining valedictorian and salutatorian. Instead, a three-tiered academic recognition system is used. The levels of academic recognition are as follows:
1. Cum Laude: The upper 15% of the graduating class, excluding the Summa and Magna Cum Laude student, using a weighted GPA or students who have a 4.0 GPA or higher.
2. Magna Cum Laude: The upper 10% of the graduating class, excluding the Summa Cum Laude students, using a weighted GPA.
3. Summa Cum Laude: The upper 5% of the graduating class using a weighted GPA.
