Grade point averages (GPA) and class rank are important to students seeking scholarships, financial assistance, and other post secondary endeavors. GPA and class rank are calculated using a system of levels and credits.

Each academic and selective course is assigned the appropriate level based on the rigor of the curriculum and the performance expectations: generally honors courses are rated at level one, mainstream courses are rated at level two, and courses and modified curriculum and/or performance expectations are rated a level three. For the purposes of calculating GPA only, each level is assigned a specific weight. It is important to note that levels do not affect the grade published on a student's report card and Honor Roll status. Levels provide a means of accurately calculating class rank for a diverse population. Levels may also be utilized to adjust for an individual with significant modifications to his/her course expectations. GPA and class rank are calculated by multiplying a student's adjusted class averages by the corresponding credit value, and then dividing by the total number of attempted credits.
