Grade Point Average (GPA)

Each letter grade is given a point value based on the number of credits awarded or attempted. GPA = Total number of grade points divided by the total number of credit given/attempted. This includes all marks and credits from 10th grade through 11th grade. It also includes summer before 10th and 11th grades, challenge tests, grades from other schools, and repeat courses. Total grade points are divided by the number of courses attempted. Physical education, drill team, pep squad, sports, and pass marks are not included.

Class Rank

(Method of Computing)

The student with the highest GPA ranks #1, and the second highest ranks #2. If more than one student shares the same GPA, they have the same rank, and the student’s rank that follows that GPA will be lower according to how many students share the same GPA.

For example:

1. Marissa 4.0

2. Steve 3.9

2. Cindy 3.9

2. Jesus 3.9

5. Quan 3.8
