SENECA VALLEY GRADING SCALE & GPA CALCULATIONS
GRADING SCALE A B C D F Excellent Good Average Below average Not passing 90 - 100% 80 - 89% 70 -79% 60 -69% Below 60%
UNWEIGHTED (BASE) GPA CALCULATION The unweighted (base) GPA is calculated by dividing: Total number of Quality Points by Total number of Credits attempted during each 9-week grading period Quality points are determined by the following letter grade values: A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0 F=0
GPA CALCULATIONS Grade Point Averages are cumulative calculations of all earned grades that occur during each nine-week grading period including quarterly exams. Unweighted (base) GPA + Add-on(using caps explained on slide 6 and 7) = Weighted GPA Weighted and Unweighted GPA are reported on transcripts.
GPA CALCULATION WEIGHTED VALUES Add-on weighted value for the following courses: Advanced Placement (AP) - 0.08 for full year, 0.02 per quarter College in High School (CHS) - 0.08 for full year, 0.02 per quarter Honors - 0.04 for full year, 0.01 per quarter
UNWEIGHTED (BASE) GPA CALCULATION Students will be able to take as many weighted courses for which they qualify, but the weight obtained each year will be capped at the following: Freshman year: 0.26 cap using available CHS and Honors course weights Sophomore year: 0.34 cap using available AP, CHS and Honors course weights
UNWEIGHTED (BASE) GPA CALCULATION Junior year: 0.48 cap using available AP, CHS and Honors course weights Senior year: 0.48 cap using available AP, CHS and Honors course weights In weighted courses, students must obtain a "C" grade (70%) or better and must complete the course to earn the weighted add-on for the course.
