GPA
Each student will receive an unweighted and weighted GPA. The unweighted is computed by using the grade point average of the final marks earned by each student in grades 9-12 in all subjects except those on Pass/Fail (P/F). The weighted GPA is calculated by adding the following values to the unweighted GPA: .05 weight for each Honors class taken and .07 weight for each Advanced Placement and UConn ECE course taken.
While the rules and regulations outlined in the Program of Studies apply to all students, the school principal may make exceptions in the best educational interest of individual students.
HONOR ROLL
The Stamford Public Schools believes in recognizing students who demonstrate significant academic achievement through hard work and commitment. To earn honors in a marking period a student must be taking a minimum of 3 credits in that marking period. There are three levels of Honors:
- Honors with Distinction: Straight A’s (includes A and A-)
- High Honors: All A’s with the exception of one B (includes B+, B, and B-)
- Honors: All A’s and/or B’s with the exception of one C (includes C+, C, and C-)
All course grades will be included in the calculation for qualifying for Honor Roll. Honor Roll status will be indicated on report cards quarterly.
Note: New students enrolled in the Stamford Public Schools, who do not have grades awarded by the Stamford Public Schools, would not be included in the Honor Roll determination.
