Class Rank
A Student’s GPA will be multiplied by the total number
of credits earned to a maximum of eight credits per year, to
establish “quality point total” (QPT). QPT, will
be used to determine class rank. The purpose for this school
board approved change is to reward students who take more rigorous
classes and it will also reward students who take a greater
number of classes up to a maximum of eight credits per year.
Beginning with the class of 2009 ranking will be by GPA only. |

Credits for Class Standing
Class standing is determined by the number of credits a student
has at the end of a school year.
Sophomore: 5 credits minimum
Junior: 11 credits minimum
Senior: 18 credits minimum |

Grade Point Average (GPA)
Grade point average (GPA) is the total number of grade points
accumulated, using the weighted scale shown above, divided by
the total number of credits attempted. A weighted scale is used
to reward students who take more rigorous
classes. |
