Quality PointsStudents enrolled in rigorous courses are awarded additional quality points. These additional points are called “weighted” points. One additional quality point is earned for students who take AP and DE courses. Honors courses receive an additional .5 quality point added to the GPA. RankingOur students have a long history of excellence in academic pursuits and are only ranked for the purpose of selecting Valedictorian and Salutatorian. We do not believe that ranking students provides a valid measure of student achievement, and therefore we do not publish class rank as part of the college admission process.
