Course Level Grade Point Averages:
Advanced Placement (AP) classes are based on an 4.8 scale.
Level 1: Senior to Sophomore (S2S), Project Lead the Way, Discovery Academy, Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO), and other courses that might meet the MN Transfer Curriculum standards will be weighted on a 4.5 GPA scale.
Levels 2: Courses will be based on a 4.0 GPA scale.
An "I" incomplete should be made up within two weeks after the close of a grading period. In cases of prolonged excused absences, a student may be given special permission to use longer time in which to complete work.
"NC" (No Credit)": A trimester grade of "NC" means that all requirements have not been met, but the student has the opportunity to complete remaining work in order to receive credit. A student receiving an "NC" will have a maximum of one trimester to complete missing assignments. A shorter period of time could be given at the teachers's discretion. After that time, the "NC" will be changed to the appropriate letter grade. If an "NC" is not made up in the designated time period, it becomes an "F."
"CNC" (COVID No-Credit): Will show up on the transcripts until class of 2024 graduate. A trimester grade of "NC" means that all requirements have not been met. The student must re-take all classes that are a graduation requirement in order to receive credit and earn their diploma. "CNC" will not count against a student's GPA.
Students in grades 9-12 will have the option to take one elective class per trimester for a pass/fail grade. This grade will not impact overall grade point average (GPA).
How to Find My GPA
To find your GPA use the grading scale listed above. Each class you take is worth a certain amount of points. For each tri, add up your total number of points you get for each grade you received and then divide by the number of classes you took. This is your GPA.
