Wellness/Fitness, Driver Training, courses which are taken pass/fail, and courses having a course value of 0.0 are not used in calculating the GPA. The GPA is calculated after each quarter and at the end of the year. Calculations are based on quarter and the exam average, if applicable, not end of the year averages. These calculations are performed in the following manner:
1. A mark is assigned a numerical value called the Quality Point (QP). The Quality Point values for course marks are:
| Grade |
AP Courses |
Honors Courses |
Others |
| 92-100 |
5 QP |
4.5 QP |
4 QP |
| 84-91 |
4 QP |
3.5 QP |
3 QP |
| 74-83 |
3 QP |
2.5 QP |
2 QP |
| 65-73 |
2 QP |
1.5 QP |
1 QP |
| 0-64 |
0 QP |
0 QP |
0 QP |
| 0-55 |

*M, N, P, WP, and WF are not used in calculating GPA.
2. Each course has an assigned value. A course's value is based on the number of meeting times per cycle and the length of the course.
3. The value for each course is distributed over the quarters in which the grade is assigned. For example, a 1.0 course which is graded each quarter and which has semester exams will have a value of 0.20 in each of the five calculations.
4. The course value for each quarter is multiplied times the Quality Point Value of the grade earned. This product is called Grade Points.
5. The GPA is determined by dividing the total Grade Points for all courses by the total course value for all courses.
PLEASE NOTE:
These calculations are performed four times a year for all students.
The official cumulative GPA is calculated in the summer. The official class rank is based on this cumulative GPA.
A cumulative plus year-to-date GPA is calculated for seniors after the first semester. It is reported to colleges which request that information from their applicants.
