• A student’s GPA begins in 9th grade and “official” GPAs are computed at the end of the junior year, the end of the first semester of the senior year, and the end of the senior year. A student may earn credits toward graduation and their GPA beginning with select courses in 8th grade with administrative approval.
• “Official” GPAs are used for college applications and senior awards for academic distinction. These include valedictorian, salutatorian, honors society and honor medals as well as scholarship applications.
• A GPA is calculated as a weighted grade point average. To compute the weighted GPA, multiply the value of each grade (i.e. A=4.0) by the credit value of each course as determined by its academic level. Five day a week classes generally equal one credit per year or 1/2 credit per semester. Two or three day a week classes typically receive 1/2 credit per year or 1/4 credit per semester. Next, add up the total values for all courses. Finally, divide this total by the total number of credits. The values of each grade are listed below.
• Important: If you repeat a course, count only the attempt with the highest grade is counted toward your GPA. Repeating a course and obtaining a higher grade is the most efficient way of raising your GPA.
