GRADING SCALE

All grades will be recorded on transcripts and report cards as numeric grades. The grading scale is as follows:

*7 Quality Points are awarded for all Honors and AP Classes

Report cards show the numeric grades and the Cumulative Numeric Average for the reporting period. The Cumulative Numeric Average is determined by adding all numeric grades together and dividing that total by the number of courses taken.

Calculations for the HOPE Scholarship are based only on grades received in language arts, math, science, social studies, and world languages courses that meet the state core requirements. Effective with the Class of 2005, all core subjects, including those beyond the number required of the state core, are counted. If a student repeats a failed course, both grades are counted for the HOPE average.

Students who successfully complete AP and/or Honors courses will receive an additional seven points. These honor points will be added to the final average for each qualifying course.
