When college transcripts are sent to Ms Patel, the college sends a letter grade: A, B, C, D, or F.
This grade then gets transcribed on the high school transcript (and in your grades for the semester) at the median high school equivalent grade.
College A becomes a 95 for GCPS.
College B becomes a 85 for GCPS.
College C becomes a 75 for GCPS.
College D becomes a 72 for GCPS.
College F becomes a 55 for GCPS.
A few examples of how of grades transfer from colleges to GCPS (with the exception of Georgia Tech):
Example 1: A student earns a 92 in English 1101 at GTC. The grade comes to PDS as an "A". PDS records a 95 on the high school transcript.
Example 2: A student earns an 88 in English 1101 at GTC. The grade comes to PDS as a "B". PDS records an 85 on the high school transcript. If a student wants the 88 to show on the high school transcript, the student must fill a Numerical Grade Request Form.
Example 3: A student earns a 62 in English 1101 at GTC. The grade comes to PDS as a "D". PDS records a 72 on the high school transcript. The student does not receive college credit for this course; however, the student does receive high school credit for this course.
Example 4: A student earns a 52 in English 1101 at GTC. The grade comes to PDS as an "F". PDS records a 55 on the high school transcript. The student does not earn college credit. This student does not earn high school credit.
