ACADEMIC TRACKING (GRADES 9-12)
There are three tracks available in high school. They are honors, college, and general. All students are initially considered to be in a college track. Midway through the first quarter an academic tracking form will be sent home with all students to select the academic track they want to remain in for each class.
Students may request to go down a track at any time throughout the school year, with the necessary form and parent signature. It is not possible to go up a track after the end of the first quarter. In fairness to the students in the upper track, a weighting system is in place for valuing grades in each track. Weighting affects the computation of the GPA; however, it has nothing to do with credits that are earned. In other words, a student taking a course in the General track receives the same credits for the course as a student taking the same course in the Honors track. This is how the weighting system affects a student’s GPA. A student who earns an 80% in an Honors class will have the GPA impacted with a grade of an (80* 1.1). However, the grade on the report card remains an 80. A student in college track would have an 80% weight in his or her GPA as well as on the report card. A student in the general track would have a 72 (80* 0.9) weight in their GPA; however the report card would show an 80 on their report cards. Weighting only affects the GPA.
Grade values are recorded on student transcripts as follows: Honors weighted 1.1, College weighted 1.0, and General weighted 0.9
