Pinellas Pathways – Choose your Path • Advanced Scholar Pathway - This includes a rigorous level of required and elective courses that best prepare students seeking admittance to competitive four-year universities. • College Pathway (Scholar Designation) - This includes a rigorous level of required and elective courses that best prepare students for entry into a college or four year university. • Technical/College Pathway (Merit Designation) - This offers the opportunity for students to challenge themselves in elective areas of interest, earn nationally recognized industry certifications, and pursue entry into a post-secondary technical school or state college. Circle your pathway on the top of your course selection sheet.

  5. Acceleration Plan It is our expectation that by the time you graduate, you are college and career ready. Students have 3 options to meet this goal. Circle which goal you have: • Pass an AP Exam • Pass a certification test • Pass a dual enrollment course

  6. Optional Accelerated Programs • AP Capstone / Collegiate • AP Capstone / Traditional • Collegiate • Traditional

  7. Quality Points – Weighted GPA Because some classes are more difficult, rely more heavily on tests, or demand more assignments than others, they also have a *quality point* attached to them. Quality points affect your weighted GPA. Honors classes - .5 quality points AP and Dual Enrollment classes – 1.0 quality points

  8. Examples of how Quality Points can help or harm…. Example 1 An A in an AP class = 5.0 GPA An A in an honors class = 4.5 GPA An A in a regular class = 4.0 GPA Example 2 A C in an AP class = 3.0 GPA A B in an honors class = 3.5 GPA An A in a regular class = 4.0 GPA Moral of the story? Only choose AP and honors classes that you have a proven history of performing well in.
