Students are expected to maintain positive academic standing in order to continue in Honors courses.  Academic standing in these courses will be evaluated by the building administration. It is highly recommended that a student maintain a “B” each semester to move to the next level Honors class. 

The teacher will contact the parent/guardian if a student’s grade drops below a “C” in an Honors course.

If extenuating circumstances such as, but not limited to, prolonged illness, family emergency, etc. exist, the teacher, school counselor, and building principal may meet with the student and a parent and allow him/her to remain in the Honors/AP class on a probationary basis.

High School credits earned prior to 8th grade are factored into a student’s high school GPA for the class of 2024 and beyond.

Credit Earned in Junior High

Students who successfully complete high school courses while in junior high are granted high school credit. Credit will be awarded and calculated in cumulative grade point average upon entrance to the high school.  Students may elect to retake a course taken in junior high. If a course is retaken, the grade and credit earned in junior high will be removed from the transcript and replaced by the grade and credit earned in high school. The new course grade is calculated into the GPA. 

Grade Point Average Calculation

Semester grades are calculated using quarter grades. Each quarter grade is weighted 50% of the semester average. 

Cumulative grade point averages are calculated only at the end of each semester.
