AHS Class Ranking and GPA Calculations

GPA Table

GPA points are assigned for each course at the end of a semester. In order to earn GPA points, a student must be in the class and pass with a minimum of 70 points to earn GPA points according to the GPA table. Failed courses will be included in GPA calculations with zero GPA points earned.

The calculation of class rank shall exclude grades earned during Middle School, in summer school courses; any traditional correspondence course; concurrent courses taken at a community college; any local credit course; and grades earned through credit by examination.

Students with a final GPA over a 4.0 will have grades that are on the 4.0 scale earned in the fall and spring of their senior year excluded from their GPA if they are not required credits for graduation or credits to earn an endorsement.

GPA and Class Rank will be calculated for each grade level, transcript updated, and posted in Naviance according to the following timeline:

Freshman GPA will be calculated and posted in Naviance one (1) time. (Class Rank will not be calculated until sophomore year).
- After spring semester; available in late June.
Sophomore and Junior GPA and Class Rank will be calculated two (2) times per year. The transcript will be updated and GPA/Rank will be posted in Naviance.

- Official GPA and Class Rank:
  - After fall semester; available in February

  - Note: the 3rd quarter calculation does not “freeze” a student’s GPA. Transcripts will be updated for colleges with the final calculation after spring semester is complete.
