Grading System

GRADE POINT AVERAGES AND CLASS RANK

Grade Point Averages (GPA’s) are determined when credit is awarded. The GPA’s for all students are placed in order from highest to lowest to determine each student’s rank in class.

The class rank for transfers will be calculated after four (4) semesters of consecutive attendance at Pelham High School.

Note: Note: Pass/Fail courses and alternative credit opportunities such as on-line courses, adult education courses and summer school courses are not calculated into the GPA.
