The above high school courses, taken for credit in middle school, will count towards high school graduation requirements. Each of the courses listed above will be transcripted as 0.5 unit for each semester of the high school course. Grades placed on the transcript will be used for grade point average (GPA) and class ranking calculations. Honors courses will be assigned a 4.5 weight on the OKCPS grading scale, and all other courses will be assigned a 4.0 weight.
Students in middle school who wish to withdraw from a high school course must do so prior to the end of the first semester or the grade received will be entered on the student's high school transcript along with the grade earned in the class.
Regardless of courses taken, students are required to take all mandated state testing associated with their grade level.
Oklahoma state law requires all students to take three (3) math courses while in high school. If a student takes a high school math course in middle school, this course will not count as one of the three required courses.
Grades and Grade Point Averages in High School
Students will earn a .5 unit for successful completion of a one semester class. Any unit attempted will be given a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F and all grades will be computed in determining a grade point average (GPA).
A mark of "NG"or "No Grade" does not calculate in the GPA.
A mark of "NC" or "No Credit" is calculated as an "F".
OKCPS transcripts will reflect a 4.0 grade scale with weighted grades.
GPAs are calculated on the following point values:
