Interpreting The Academic Record
Class Rank Class rank is based on cumulative grade point average. The average is computed using the valude of the earned grade in a course:
A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0	times the course level multiplier, divided by the credits earned and attempted. Each course has a value multiplier determined by its level:	AP=5 H=4 CP2=3 CP1=2 Sp.Ed=1
No special programs or courses taken beyond the regular high school programs including summer school are counted towards class rank.
Grade Point Average G.P.A is a weighted average of all the grades in all courses during current and previouse years. G.P.A. is on a 20.000 scale. The G.P.A is utilized to compute class rank. An unweighted G.P.A on a 4.0 scale can be provided upon request.
