Weighted GPA and Class Rank
Class Rank is based on a student's weighted grade point average (GPA).
Weighted GPA is calculated based on the following criteria:

above 4.0.
2. After a student's cumulative GPA reaches above 4.0:
a. Weighted GPA is based on a minimum of 5 classes each semester
b. All courses required for graduation must count
c. All weighted courses must count
d. Any non-weighted courses will count until five courses are counted
e. Transcripts will be reviewed by administration to determine which classes
will count
f. More than 5 classes will count if the number of b & c total more than 5 in
any semester
