GRADES & GPA
Grade Point Average
Each semester course is awarded one credit. The grade point average is determined by calculating each semester grade for each class according to the following guidelines: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.   Multiply each credit by the letter grade received and divide by the total number of credits.  Please see your counselor if you are confused about calculating your GPA.

Repeat classes will have the second grade averaged in the GPA and not the first. Credit is given only once for successful completion of a course. Students may only repeat courses in which they have received a D or F letter grade.  (A class may not be repeated if a higher level of that subject has been accomplished.) The original grade remains on the transcript, although the credit may be removed.

Weighted Grades
Honors courses and AP courses are weighted.  Students who take an honors course will receive .5 added to their course grade: A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5, F=0.  Students who receive a grade in advanced placement courses (AP courses) will have a full point added to their grade: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, F=0.

Grading Scale
A = 93 – 100
B = 85 – 92
C = 75 – 84
D = 70 – 74
F = 0 – 69
