When you meet with your counselor next week, we want to hear your plans for taking advantage of high school. We will share your current progress and make a schedule that can help support you.
9th grade Ignore please!
9th grade • 9th grade: 6 classes + 6 classes = 60 credits • 10th grade: 6 classes + 6 classes = 60 credits • 11th grade: 6 classes + 6 classes = 60 credits • 12th grade: 5 classes + 5 classes = 50 credits 230 credits
Credits? • You do NOT get credit for a course you fail. • You do NOT receive double credit for a course you repeat to better a grade. • For Example: • 9th grade • English 9B: D- (5 credits) • Summer School • (REPEAT) English 9B: B (5 credits) No Double Credits!!!
GPA Grade Point Average (GPA) All letter grades earned by students are assigned a point value, from 0 to 4, which is then computed and converted into a Grade Point Average (GPA). Letter grades for regular classes, Honors, and Advanced Placement classes are converted to points as follows: Regular ClassesHonor and Advanced Placement Classes A = 4.00 A = 5.00 B = 3.00 B = 4.00 C = 2.00 C = 3.00 D = 1.00 F = 0.00 Weighted Credit
Skill Building: The Process is simple The points are added for all classes and then divided by the number of classes taken to give you the Grade Point Average (GPA). 18 6 = 3.00 20 6 = 3. 33
