College Application FAQ's

Q:What grading scale is used on student transcripts?

A: The SC Uniform Grading Policy uses a 10 point grading scale where the highest GPA is a 6.0.

Q: Is class rank weighted or unweighted?

A: Weighted

Q: How do students request letters of recommendation?

A: If using the Common Application, enter the email for the person giving you a recommendation. They will receive an email prompting them to complete the recommendation. We do not use Naviance for recommendation letters. If you are not using the Common Application, please follow the directions in the school's application regarding letters of recommendation. School Counselors will require that you complete your senior profile prior to writing a recommendation letter. Please remember, student application deadlines are not always recommender and School Counselor deadlines. 

Q: What if a college application doesn't list Lucy Beckham High School in its high school's list?

A: Because we are a new school and you are the first person applying there from Beckham, they may need to add us to their list. You should try searching for Lucy Beckham High School AND Lucy Garrett Beckham High School and by using our CEEB code: 410068. If you need assistance with this, please reach out to your School Counselor or the Director of School Counseling for assistance.
