Ipswich High School has four difficulty levels of courses (Advanced Placement, Honors, College Preparatory L2 and College Preparatory L1). We have four levels for G.P.A. computation. The weighted courses and G.P.A. provide maximum weight for grades received in A.P. courses and lesser weight for grades received in general or remedial level courses. For example, a grade of A+ in an AP course receives a weight of 5.00; in an Honors course, 4.50; in College Preparatory L2, 4.00; and in a College Preparatory L1 course, 3.50
We offer courses at four difficulty levels so that all students may succeed in courses at their own level and earn recognition on the Honor Roll.
Please note that students who enroll in Advanced Placement courses must take the Advanced Placement Exam in that subject in May. Advanced Placement test fees are paid by students.
