Final Grade Estimator
Final Grade Estimator
You can use this tool to estimate your final grade (F1) for a course you are currently taking. Simply enter in the values from Infinite Campus into the following linked document (you will save your own copy of the document before entering data):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fR2dPBFBHxWFTvbNDgt5MkKOrSILfT50Bhb1Dez9q1Q/copy
The document is based on the following equation:
(Q1 x 0.40) + (Q2 x 0.40) + (Final Exam Grade x 0.20) = F1
You can do the same calculation for a spring semester course by inserting your Q3 and Q4 grades (or estimates) in place of Q1 and Q2.
You need a 60 or higher to pass a course and earn a credit on your transcript towards high school graduation.
Strategies to Improve your GPA
Strategies to Improve your GPA
GPA is calculated from the Final Grade (F1 in Powerschool) in each course you have completed. Numeric averages translate into letter grades according to the scale below. Each letter grade in a course adds Quality Points into your GPA.
90-100 A = 4.0 quality points
80-89 B = 3.0 quality points
70-79 C = 2.0 quality points
60-69 D = 1.0 quality points
<60 F = 0 points
GPA is calculated by adding up the quality points for each course you have completed and dividing by the total number of courses.
If you are trying to improve your GPA:
Work on bringing up grades in classes where your Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 or F1 grade is close to the cutoff for the next letter grade up. For example, if you have an 88 in English and a 72 in Math, it would be smarter to work on your English grade because you are only 2 points away from an "A", which is 4 quality points, rather than a "B", which is only 3 points.
