TRANSCRIPTS
Transcripts are requested through the Registrar. All requests for transcripts must be submitted
in writing. Transcript requests need to be submitted to the Registrar at least 5 day in advance of
the date it is needed. There is no fee for a reasonable number of transcript copies, unless
requesting delivery other than regular U.S. postal mail service. The fee for the excepted delivery
service will be billed to the responsible party. All outstanding accounts must be brought up to
date before transcripts are released. Transcripts and other school reports are provided promptly
upon request of parents or guardians who have fully honored or are current in their financial
obligations to the School.
CLASS RANK
As a matter of School policy (except for the naming of a graduating class Valedictorian and
Salutatorian), we do not rank our students. Applications for college acceptances will state this
policy. However, cumulative grade point averages are computed and reported for all application
processes.
The Senior Valedictorian and Salutatorian are determined by averaging the numerical grades for
their classes taken at Miller School of Albemarle for grades eleven and twelve. A weighting point
is added in the average for those who take six classes rather than five and for each class
designated as Advanced Placement. One-half weighting point is average for a class designated as
Honors.
CURRICULUM
Class schedules are designed with individual students in mind. Choices may highlight a student’s
interest or talent, with the input of advisors, the selection of courses takes place in the spring of
the year. Please Note: Not all students can expect to be granted admission to the courses for
which they indicate a preference during the spring selection process. Typical schedules include:
