Your grades are the measurement of your progress toward your ultimate goal - graduation and post-secondary opportunities.

GRADING SCALE
A = 90 - 100 (superior achievement)
B = 80 - 89 (above average achievement)
C = 74 - 79 (average achievement)
D = 70 - 73 (minimally acceptable achievement)
F = Below 70 (failure to achieve)

GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Your GPA is an average of all the final grades you make in your high school courses,
starting with your freshman year and ending with your senior year. It is calculated as
follows:

* Your number grades are written as letter grades
* Your letter grades are assigned a certain number of quality points:

A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 point
F = 0 points

* The quality points for your courses are added and divided by the number of units taken. (For example, if you receive two A's, one B, and one C during your first semester, your GPA would be figured as follows): 

Step One: 4 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 13
Step Two: 13 divided by 4 (for 4 classes) = 3.250 GPA 


Your GPA is sometimes used to see your overall high school average as a letter grade:

4.000 GPA and higher = A average
3.000 - 3.999 GPA = B average
2.000 - 2.999 GPA = C average
1.000 - 1.999 GPA = D average
Below .999 GPA = F average
