Grading Scale
The State of NC uses a 10-point grading scale.
GPA = Grade Point Average
GPA = Grade Point Average
Cumulative & reflects all classes taken in high school (even failed classes).
Average of the quality points you have earned for each final course grade.
Honors, AP and some CCP courses earn extra quality points (weighted quality points).
9th and 10th grades are the best time to impact your GPA, as there are fewer grades being averaged into your GPA so a single high grade can make a bigger impact.
It can be difficult to improve your GPA in 11th & 12th grades because more numbers are being averaged together, so a single high number has less of an impact.
Weighted GPA & Quality Points
Some courses taken in high school earn weighted GPA Quality Points. These extra quality points can result in some students having a weighted GPA that exceeds 4.0. Add the following points to advanced courses taken.
AP Courses = +1 point
CCP (most) Courses = +1 point
Honors Courses = + .5 points
CLASS RANK
A number that tells you where you stand in relation to your peers in your grade level.
Calculated at the conclusion of each semester and at the end of the summer when final course grades have been permanently stored in PowerSchool.
Class of 2025 = 416 students
