GPA Chart

RMHS calculates two different grade point averages, one weighted and one unweighted. The Unweighted Grade Point Average (UGPA) uses all of a student’s grades and all courses are assigned values using the standard weighting. The RMHS secondary school record reports a Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) to report academic performance to post-secondary institutions.

• Only courses taken during the school day at RMHS are included in the calculation of WGPA and UGPA. Credit towards graduation may be awarded for courses taken at other high schools, summer school, night school, colleges, etc., but those courses are NOT included in the calculation of WGPA or UGPA. Exceptions may be made for a student who has exhausted a sequential program of courses offered at RMHS.

• WGPA and UGPA are cumulative and use final grades for their calculations. 

• Courses taken on a Pass/Fail basis will be awarded credits but are not included in the calculation of UGPA or WGPA.

• Most elective courses (such as those in business, art, music, and technology) are not included in the calculation of the WGPA.

• Courses are weighted according to their level of rigor and the corresponding weighting are as follows:
