Marking System

The grading system has been numerical since fall of 1998. Grade point average is calculated from weighted and regular course grades. The school’s GPA is un-weighted and based on a 4.0 scale. An individual student’s GPA is considered weighted if they have taken at least one Advanced Placement course. Otherwise the student GPA is considered un-weighted. Pass/fail, tutorial, college courses and most 50 minute courses are not included in the GPA. Other then students in specialized programs, students are ranked and the rank is un-weighted.
