GRADE & GPA REQUIREMENTS

Applicant must have completed 9th, 10th 11th or 12th grade

MINIMUM GPA

Application must maintain minimum 3.5 GPA for the current academic year

GRADE CONVERSION

A=4, B=3, C=2. If numerical grades are used, the following scale will be used unless the school’s letter grade conversion is given on the transcript: A=90-100; B=80-89; C=70-79. In calculating the GPA, no rounding will be used – one decimal place only.

HONORS & ACADEMIC SUBJECTS

Honors, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, PLTW courses, and dual credit college level academic courses will earn one fifth (.2) extra Grade Point.

Only grades for academic subjects only are calculated – history/social studies, English, mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, computer sciences, visual and performing arts if indicated as academic.

A grade lower than a C in an academic subject will mean automatic rejection of the applicant.

Grades for non-academic courses will NOT be calculated – art, band, orchestra, choir, home economics, health, driver education, physical education, shop, etc. and any other class marked as non-academic will not be included in the GPA calculation (unless transcript indicates ‘academic’ or AP or IB).

GRADE 

There will be no special status designation for a 4.0 GPA other than for a national champion who also has a 4.0 GPA.
