As
a
reminder
for
parents
of
current
10th-grade
students,
with
the
end
of
the
first
semester
on
January
24,
current
sophomores
are
the
first
students
whose
grades
will
be
computed
under
the
new
grade
point
average
(GPA)
and
class
rank
calculations
that
became
effective
in
the
2018-19
school
year,
following
revisions
to
Regulation
661.01-1
-
For
all
students
pursuing
a
standard
or
advanced
studies
diploma,
a
percentile
rank
in
class
will
be
computed
for
the
first
time
this
semester
and
each
semester
after
that
point
leading
up
to
graduation
from
high
school.
-
The
GPA
will
be
computed
by
adding
the
total
quality
points
for
all
credits
attempted,
with
the
exception
of
the
first
attempt
of
a
repeated
course,
and
dividing
the
sum
by
the
total
number
of
credits
earned.
-
Beginning
with
students
who
are
currently
sophomores
this
2019-20
school
year,
honor
designation
will
be
available,
but
calculations
will
no
longer
produce
absolute
class
ranks.
GPA
and
class
ranks
for
11th
and
12th
grade
students
will
continue
to
be
computed
under
the
previous
system.
