Our school year is divided into two semesters and four quarters. Semester grades appear on your permanent records. Quarter grades and semester grades are used to calculate eligibility. Progress reports issued midway through each grading period serve as a warning to students who have a grade that is below a “C-,” indicating the student is in danger of failing the class.

Each class taken is worth five credits per semester, for a total of ten credits. In order to graduate in four years, a student must earn the necessary number of credits and complete all subject requirements by graduation time. Please see your counselor if you have additional questions.

Grades are the traditional “A” through “F.” The grade points assigned are as follows:

“A” equals 4 grade points

“B” equals 3 grade points

“C” equals 2 grade points

“D” equals 1 grade point

“F” equals 0 grade points

Honors and Advanced Placement classes earn weighted grade points. The grade points assigned are as follows:

“A” equals 5 grade points

“B” equals 4 grade points

“C” equals 3 grade points

Students who take an Honors or Advanced Placement class may earn a grade point average higher than 4.0. Students earning grades below the “C” level will be recommended to transfer to a traditional course.
