<p>Our school requires Phys Ed for four years and calculates it into the GPA. Music, band, orchestra, and chorus are added into the GPA; the District just allowed these to be offered as Honors with extra work. Our school requires four semesters of visual, practical, or performing arts courses. Honors and AP courses carry the same extra weight over regular level courses. There are no pass/fail courses. Some kids double up on Sciences to up their GPA and some do it just because they love science. Our kids receive solid A's, B's, or C's but + and - will be added this year or next for the freshmen.</p>
