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 0-13
• 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.
RTI: Response to Intervention
Beginning in 2016-17, high schools will
incorporate RTI into the schedule for
freshmen and sophomores in an effort to
move the students to grade level for math and
reading. We will get a list of Tier II/III
students from each middle school and will
continue to help the students work on
remediation and basic skills.
