Another reason weighted GPAs are somewhat meaningless out of context. Our HS’s “highest honor roll” is 4.0 and above. More than half the senior class is on it. So a w3.98 is bottom half.
They changed the weighting with my D21’s class - I think 11% were highest honors last quarter. (Though 80% are still on one of the three honor rolls, which goes down to 3.25)
I think the plan is to announce/award 1, 2 (both speak at graduation) and top 10 (receive awards) shortly after Q3 senior year. How can you speak at graduation if you only find out a day before graduation?
