Recommended Policy Change to EIC (Local) For students entering grade 9 in the 2021 -22 school year, and beyond, only the top ten percent shall be reported on the student transcript at the preliminary sixth, sixth and seventh semester. A student not in the top ten percent may request their weighted grade average from the counseling department.

Course Level Rank Factor AP and Dual Credit AP 1. 15 Pre-AP, Honors, GT, non-AP, and Dual Credit non-AP 1. 08 Regular 1. 0
