SENECA VALLEY GRADING SCALE & GPA CALCULATIONS
GRADING SCALE A Excellent 90 - 100% B Good 80 - 89% C Average 70 -79% D Below average 60 -69% F Not passing 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 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0
GPA CALCULATION Class of 2020 & 2021 Grade Point Averages are cumulative calculations of all earned grades that occur during each nine-week grading period, midterms, and final exams. § Unweighted (base) GPA + Add-on(after using divisor explained on slide 6 and 7) = Weighted GPA § Weighted and Unweighted GPA are reported on transcripts. Class of 2022 & beyond 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 Class of 2020 & 2021 Add-on weighted value for the following courses before weighted divisor(explained on slide 6 and 7): • Advanced Placement (AP) - 0. 35 for full year • College in High School (CHS) – 0. 25 for full year • Honors – 0. 125 for full year Class of 2022 & beyond Add-on weighted value for the following courses(no weighted divisor): • Advanced Placement (AP) - 0. 08 for full year, 0. 02 per quarter • College in High School (CHS) - 0. 06 for full year, 0. 015 per quarter • Honors - 0. 04 for full year, 0. 01 per quarter
GPA CALCULATION Class of 2020 & 2021 Add-on weight is calculated using a formula with a divisor that began in 9 th grade Divisor grows each 9 weeks as weight is available in 9 th through 12 th grade: • Freshman year: 1 st 9 wks through 4 th 9 wks (Divisor=0. 25, 0. 50, 0. 75, 1. 0) • Sophomore year: 1 st 9 wks through 4 th 9 wks (Divisor=1. 25, 1. 50, 1. 75, 2. 0) Class of 2022 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
GPA CALCULATION Class of 2020 & 2021 • Junior year: 1 st 9 wks through 4 th 9 wks (Divisor=2. 25, 2. 50, 2. 75, 3. 0) • Senior year: 1 st 9 wks through 4 th 9 wks (Divisor=3. 25, 3. 50, 3. 75, 4. 0) In weighted courses, students receive the add-on with a “D” grade (60%) or better. Class of 2022 • 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.
