WEIGHTED GRADES
Based on District-established criteria regarding the quantity and quality of the work required, a limited number of courses in the curriculum have been designated as advanced placement or honors courses. Students earning semester letter grades of A, B, or C in such courses will receive honor points of 6.0, 5.0, and 4.0 respectively rather than the normal 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0 points awarded for the same grades in non-weighted courses. These points will be utilized in calculating the student’s honor roll and class rank status. See the Academic Planning Guide for more information.
