Students are encouraged to take more rigorous courses which will challenge them to develop their critical thinking and analytical skills. WFHS offers various Honors and AP level courses which can help students prepare for college and/or career paths they will pursue after graduation.
Parents and students should consider placement in Honors and Advanced Placement courses with care. A high school record that includes successful completion of Honors or Advanced Placement courses enhances a student’s college application.
Teacher recommendation is required and maintaining a minimum 85 average may be necessary.
Please Note:
Report cards and transcripts indicate actual grades, NOT weighted grades, as recommended by college admissions offices. Report card grades will not exceed 100.
Grades will be weighted to show relative difficulty of different course levels solely to determine rank in class.
To accurately reflect the difficulty of different course levels, courses are weighted as follows:
Course Level
Advanced Placement (AP)
Honors/AP Prep/Pre-AP
Regents
