<p>My school does something a little different. We do not count non-academic classes (art, gym, etc) in the “class rank” GPA. So if you got an F in gym you could still have a perfect class rank GPA. </p>
<p>Also if two kids had straight A’s and took the same number of AP classes (which are weighted a point higher), but Kid A took band for 4 credits (none of which are calculated), while Kid B took 4 science credits, Kid A would have a higher rank.</p>
