Welcome, Sophomores!!!
Things to know/do as a Sophomore:
Take the PSAT in October. The test provides a taste of what it's like to take the SAT, and it can help students strategize as they think about their college applications. And when students take the PSAT/NMSQT during their sophomore or junior year, they can qualify for scholarships, including the highly selective National Merit Scholarship Program.
Continue to pull up your GPA:
The transcripts we send for college applications and scholarships reflect the grades you have made through the end of your junior year.
How to compute your GPA: Add your quality points and divide by the number of classes. Quality points are points awarded to you for the grade you made in a class. Quality points will be awarded as follows:
CP AP
A=4 A=5
B=3 B=4
C=2 C=3
D=1 D=2
Grading Scale
A: 90-100
B: 80-89
