Class Rank - Weighted Averages

Cumulative GPA's and class ranks are computed after the sixth, seventh and eighth semesters using a weighted average (an extra point is awarded for honors and AP work). Only college preparatory course work is included in the calculations. The cumulative GPA equals the sum of all weighted points earned divided by the number of classes.
