Grades and Grading System

Grade Points/Grade Point Average for Class Ranking

Class ranking, for each student in the graduating class, is determined by averaging the semester grade points from all semesters of high school. No distinction is made between four year and three-year graduates.

All courses taken within the regular school day and regular school year carry grade points, including those grades transferred from other accredited high schools. Grades for courses in which credit was earned outside the regular school day or outside the regular school year, or high school credit courses taken prior to entering 9th grade shall not be included in the computation of a student's GPA. The calculation of class rank shall exclude grades earned as a student aide or in an assigned remediation or tutoring course (local credit courses). For the purpose of determining honors to be conferred during graduation activities, the District shall calculate class rank at the end of the grading period that immediately precedes the final grading period of the senior year (3rd nine weeks).
