Grading System<br />
CALCULATING GPA<br />
Grades in Driver's Education and Physical Education Athletics are<br />
not used when calculating the grade point average. A base grade<br />
point average will be determined for each student by multiplying<br />
each semester grade by its value (A=5 B=4 C=3 D=2 F=0) and<br />
dividing by the number of grades. Recommended grading scale: A<br />
(<strong>100</strong>-90), B (89-80), C (79-70), D (69-60), F (59-0).<br />
The following values will be added to the student's base grade point<br />
average for each grade earned in an honors class:<br />
AH=.01 BH=.008 CH=.006 DH=.004<br />
The following values will be subtracted from the student's base grade<br />
point average for each grade earned in a Basic I class:<br />
A=.012 B=.014 C=.016 D=.0l8 F=.020<br />
The following values will be subtracted from the student's base grade<br />
point average for each grade earned in a Basic II class:<br />
A=.03 B=.032 C=.034 D=.036 F=.038<br />
CLASS RANK<br />
Class rank is computed at the end of each semester and includes all<br />
courses for which a grade is earned. The class rank is cumulative<br />
and based on grade point average of semester grades beginning<br />
with the 9 th grade. The location of each student’s class rank is<br />
below that semester’s courses on the transcript.<br />
