ACADEMIC
RECOGNITION
4 Tiers of
Recognition
Cumulative GPA Minimum Honors and
AP Courses
With highest
recognition
3.90 18
With high recognition 3.70 16
With notable
recognition
3.50 14
With recognition 3.50 Fewer than 14
• This academic recognition plan includes all
courses attempted by students for all 8 terms
of the high school career.
• The GPA is based on a four-point scale with
internal weighting only (3 points on the final
numerical grade for an honors course and 5 points
on the final numerical grade for an Advanced
Placement course).
CREDITS Must earn credits to move on to next grade (each
course is worth 1 credit).
You need: 6 credits to be a sophomore
12 credits to be a junior
18 credits to be a senior
26 credits to GRADUATE
You can earn 8 credits per year.
G.P.A. Means “grade point average”
ALL courses that you take in HS count toward your final
G.P.A. on a 4-point scale
An “A” is worth 4 points
A “B” is worth 3 points
A “C” is worth 2 points
A “D” is worth 1 point
An “F” is worth 0 points
Honors classes are internally weighted (+3 added to final
average), so a 4.0 is the highest that you can achieve in any
class.
