The following grading scale will be used for course work and GPA determination:
| Letter Grade | Percentages | Quality Points | AP, IB, & Dual Enrolled Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 | 4.0 | 5.0 |
| B+ | 87, 88, 89 | 3.5 | 4.5 |
| B | 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
| C+ | 77, 78, 79 | 2.5 | 3.5 |
| C | 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 | 2.0 | 3.0 |
| D+ | 67, 68, 69 | 1.5 | 2.5 |
| D | 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 | 1.0 | 2.0 |
| E | 0-59 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Because most applications to colleges need to be mailed early in the senior year, the student's grade point average is computed at the end of the junior year. Final GPA is determined at the end of the first semester of the senior year. The value for grades earned in Advanced Placement courses (as long as the student takes the Advanced Placement examination) is greater than that received for regular courses. When GPAs are calculated, the Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and dual-enrolled value is assumed for a course in which a student is currently enrolled.
