How Honor Roll Averages Are Calculated
A student's honor roll average is the average of his/her grades in the report card column
you have selected in Print Honor Roll Specifications. See“Defining Honor Roll
Reports” on page 8-15. A blank grade or grades of “I”, “P”, “WP”, “W”, “N” or “X”
will be skipped. In the numeric grading system, the letter grades of “A”, “B”, “C”, or
“D” will also be skipped.
NOTE:
Students with comment codes outside of your specified limits in a course containing one of
these “skipped” grades will still be eliminated from the honor roll. For example, assume
that you have set your comment code upper limit as 2. A student with a comment code of 3
in a course with a blank grade will still be eliminated from the honor roll.
Each grade is then given a certain number of quality points based on either the letter
grade or number grade quality point tables. These tables may be customized through the
Customize RC program. See Chapter 1 “Edit Grade Table” on page 1-2. The default
quality points for number grades is the value of the grade itself. In other words, a grade
of 95 will be awarded 95 quality points if you do not modify the Grade Table. The
default quality points for letter grades are:
A+: 4.33 B+: 3.33 C+: 2.33 D+: 1.33 F+: 0.00
A: 4.00 B: 3.00 C: 2.00 D: 1.00 F: 0.00
A-: 3.67 B-: 2.67 C-: 1.67 D-: 0.67 F-: 0.00
The following sample worksheet shows how the average might be calculated
based on grades a student obtained during the 1st marking period in a school using
letter grades
SUBJECT GRADE = QP + GPA FACTOR = ADJ QP x WEIGHT = TOTAL
QP
MATH A = 4.00 + 0 = 4.00 x 1.00 = 4.00
ENGLISH F = 0.00 + 0 = 0.00 x 1.00 = 0.00
AP HISTORY B = 3.00 + 1 = 4.00 x 1.00 = 4.00
ART BLANK
SPANISH
P
GYM C = 2.00 + 0 = 2.00 x 0.50 = 1.00
GRAND TOTALS: 3.50 9.00
GPA = GRAND TOTAL QP / GRAND TOTAL WEIGHT
GPA = 9.00 / 3.50 = 2.57
