Grading System

Each student's grades will be averaged based on a 4.0 scale. Modification for a classes base average may be changed with level of difficulty.

Modified Courses	100=3.0
Regular Courses	100=4.0
Academic Courses	100=5.0
Advanced Courses	100=6.0

Courses designated as Pre-Ap or Honors will receive academic weighting, and as Advanced Placement or dual credit college courses will receive advanced weighting. Additional weighting will not appear on student's report cards or transcripts. Weighting is used solely to calculate GPA.

Class Ranking

Students are ranked according to their grade point average. A specific numerical class rank is assigned. The initial ranking is reported to colleges and universities as students apply for admission. For the purpose of recognition at graduation exercises, the class ranking of honor graduates and the top ten percent of the graduates shall be calculated at the end of the fourth nine weeks of their senior year.
