Grading System

The grading system at Bishop McCort High School uses course credits and a weighted average to determine grade point average.  The weight is listed below:

Weighted Grading Scale

Letter Grade Point Value Weight
A 93 - 100 AP: 1.1; Honors: 1.05; Academic: 1.0
B 85 - 92 AP: 1.1; Honors: 1.05; Academic: 1.0
C 75 - 84 AP: 1.1; Honors: 1.05; Academic: 1.0
D 70 - 74 AP: 1.1; Honors: 1.05; Academic: 1.0
F < 70 AP: 1.1; Honors: 1.05; Academic: 1.0

Course levels and grades are assigned weighted grade points.  The students average is multiplied by the weight listed above.  That number is then multiplied by the credit amount.  Grade Point Average (GPA) is the sum of the credit times the weighted average divided by the total number of credits.  This calculation rewards student achievement within each course level.  NOTE:  Course credit is determined by the number of periods a course meets during the week.  Pass/Fail courses are not counted towards GPA.  The GPA is calculated for each quarter and for final grades.
