At the end of each marking period, a grade point average is calculated by averaging each grade with the frequency of the class meeting. For example, a class that meets alternate days will count half as much as a class that meets daily.
Cumulative Grade Point Average
At the end of each semester, a cumulative GPA is calculated by taking an average of all credit-bearing courses a student has completed. This includes eighth-grade courses that earn high school credits. The cumulative GPA appears on the transcript.
Weighted Grade Point Average
A weighted GPA is calculated by applying a weight of 5% to honors-level courses and 10% to AP/dual enrollment courses (SUPA, SUNY ESF, SUNY Oswego, or Onondaga Community College). The weighted GPA appears on the transcript.
