Grading Scale

Students in high school should pay attention to class rankings and grade point averages as determining factors for college scholarship awards and local school honors. Keep in mind that the final grades in Carnegie unit courses are averaged through the end of the second semester of the senior year. Rank is computed to the hundredth of a percent, except to break a tie when thousandths of a percent will be used. Averages will be obtained by adding numerical grades using the following scale:
