 G.P.A. Information:

• ACADEMIC LEVEL ELECTIVE COURSE HAVE NEUTRAL WEIGHTING
• Students can ‘opt-in’ to have these classes included into their GPA
• Colloquium and Paideia are not included in GPA
• All other classes taken in high school are included in the calculation of a student’s GPA

The WCASD Quality Point Scale:

A+ = 97-100             4.3                                 4.73                            5.16                        

A = 93-96                 4.0                                 4.4                              4.8      

A - = 90-92               3.7                                 4.07                            4.44                       

B+ = 87-89                3.3                                 3.63                            3.96            

B = 83-86                 3.0                                 3.3                              3.6

F= 60-69 (Non-passing; eligible for summer school, zero quality points)

F = Below 60 (Not eligible for summer school, zero quality points)         

The old family recipe for figuring out your G.P.A.

• 1. CREDIT VALUE OF THE ATTEMPTED COURSE MULTIPLIED BY THE QUALITY POINT VALUE FOR THE GRADE RECEIVED = QUALITY PTS.
• 2. FIND THE SUM OF ALL QUALITY POINTS
• 3. DIVIDE THE TOTAL QUALITY POINTS BY THE TOTAL CREDITS ATTEMPTED

So let’s do an example: Algebra I CCP final grade is B+ so that’s 3.3 Quality Points, African Asian Accelerated Honors final grade is a B- so that’s 3.24 Quality Points and Health Fitness final grade is an A so that’s 4.0 quality points.

11 total quality points divided by 3 credits attempted computes to a G.P.A. of 3.51 (rounded)
