    </code></pre>

<p>Grades are determined using an unweighted 4.0 scale: </p>

<pre><code>* A (including plus or minus ) = 4.0

  • B (including plus or minus) = 3.0
  • C (including plus or minus) = 2.0
  • D (including plus or minus) = 1.0
  • E or F = 0.0.

<p>Freshmen: No extra (GPA) weight is given to Honors, Accelerated, or Advanced Placement courses; however, the difficulty of a student’s curriculum is taken into consideration within the admissions process. Additionally, only courses taken 10th and 11th grade are used to calculate the GPA.</p>
