Honor Roll and Grade Point Average
Honor Roll = 85.0
High Honor Roll = 90.0
At the end of each marking period, the Honor Roll is computed as follows:
GPA= GRADE VALUE x FREQUENCY VALUE ÷ BY TOTAL FREQUENCY VALUE
FREQUENCY VALUE = 1.0 FOR EVERYDAY CLASSES AND 0.5 FOR ALTERNATE DAY CLASSES
This treats all courses equitably according to frequency of meeting.
Example: Honor Roll Computation
Course: Grade Point Average x Frequency Value = Honor Roll Point Value
- AP U.S. History & Gov.: 96 x 1.00 = 96
- PreCalculus: 86 x 1.00 = 86
- Chemistry: 89 x 1.00 = 89
- Latin 3H: 92 x 1.00 = 92
- Health: 100 x 1.00 = 100
- American Literature H: 82 x 1.00 = 82
- Physical Education: 89 x 0.50 = 44.5
Total frequency value: 6.50
Total honor roll point value: 589.50
589.50 ÷ 6.50 = 90.7% Honor roll average
At the end of the year, the GPA is figured as follows: Grade Value x Credit Value ÷ Total Credits
Example: GPA Computation
Course: Grade Point Average x Frequency Value = Honor Roll Point Value
- AP U.S. History & Gov.: 88 x 1.00 = 88
- PreCalculus: 90 x 1.00 = 90
- Chemistry: 87 x 1.00 = 87
- Latin 3H: 92 x 1.00 = 92
- Health: 96 x 0.50 = 48
- American Literature H: 84 x 0.50 = 42
- Physical Education: 88 x 0.50 = 44
Total frequency value: 5.50
Total honor roll point value: 491
491 ÷ 5.50 = 89.3% GPA
The final average is equal to the grade point average for the year and will appear on the report card in the bottom right-hand corner as GPA. This treats all courses equitably according to credit.
Example: Weighted GPA Computation
Course: Grade Point Average x Frequency Value x Weight = Honor Roll Point Value
- AP U.S. History & Gov.: 88 x 1.00 x 1.10 = 96.8
- PreCalculus: 90 x 1.00 x 1.00 = 90
- Chemistry: 87 x 1.00 x 1.00 = 87
- Latin 3H: 92 x 1.00 x 1.05 = 96.6
- Health: 96 x 0.50 x 1.0 = 48
- American Literature H: 84 x 0.50 x 1.05 = 44.1
- Physical Education: 88 x 0.50 x 1.00 = 44
Total frequency value: 5.50
Total honor roll point value: 506.50
506.50 ÷ 5.50 = 92.1% Weighted GPA
