6. Weighted Grades and Class Rank
Students who enroll in International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), and/or designated Honors (H) courses will have their grades calculated on a 5.0 scale (rather than a 4.0 scale) to determine their class rank.
Class Rank is one of several factors that many colleges and universities use in addition to other criteria in their admission decisions (holistic review).
For transcript records all courses will be calculated on a 4.0 scale to determine overall GPA.
Class of 2016 is the last with a weighted rank

7. Please Choose Carefully
Courses will be offered next year only if enough students register this Spring to fill a class.
It is very important that you think carefully about your choices now so that the courses you want will be available next year.
Once your schedule is built, changing your schedule will happen only under extenuating circumstances.
