GPA/Transcript
What is my GPA?
The average of all your grades starting from your freshman year. GPA (Grade Point Average) is important to your future: what college you can attend, what kind of upper-level high school classes you can take and what academic or athletic scholarships you may get.
What is my transcript?
The history of the classes you took and what grades you received. It lists all the grades you received and then calculates your GPA. This tells the story of the high school courses you took. Transcripts can also include test scores.
How do I request my transcript?
- Throughout the school year, you can request your transcripts by messaging your counselor or stopping in the guidance office.
- At the end of the year, complete the senior survey.
Grading in District 742
Grades are issued in all courses on a trimester schedule. Listed below are the grades, including honor points, used to determine GPA in grades 9-12.
| Level | A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D+ | D | D- | F |
| AP | 4.8 | 4.5 | 4.1 | 3.8 | 3.5 | 3.1 | 2.8 | 2.5 | 2.1 | 1.8 | 1.5 | 0 |
| Lvl 1 | 4.5 | 4.2 | 3.8 | 3.5 | 3.2 | 2.8 | 2.5 | 2.2 | 1.8 | 1.5 | 1.2 | 0 |

Course Level Grade Point Averages:
Advanced Placement (AP) classes are based on a 4.8 scale.
Level 1: Huskies in the High School, 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 a longer time period 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 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 teacher'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 the Class of 2024 graduates. 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 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 the overall grade point average (GPA).
How do I 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 trimester, add up the total number of points you earn for each grade you received and then divide by the number of classes you took. This is your GPA.
