Class rank is the academic position
a student has in relation to other
students in the same grade level. The student with the highest ranking is number one in the grade level, and the student with the lowest rank average is the last student in the grade level. All others are ranked between the highest and lowest.
Class ranking is based on a weighted point scale and is not reflected in the actual grade recorded for each course on the transcript.
More rigorous courses (Pre-AP, Dual Credit, and AP) receive greater point value than academic level courses
Not all courses count towards class rank
Those that do include the 4 core classes, foreign language and any PreAP, AP, or Dual Credit level course
AP and Dual Credit Courses receive a maximum of 8 rank points
PreAP Courses receive a maximum of 7 rank points
Academic Courses receive a maximum of 6 rank points
Rank chart is located in the course guide on the high school website
Both AP and Dual Credit are college level courses with college level rigor.
The AP exam score determines whether a college/university will award credit. A score of 3, 4, or 5 is considered a qualifying score, but it is up to the university to award credit.
Dual credit is awarded based on performance throughout the semester. San Antonio College will award credit for courses that are passed, but all courses will be included on the SAC transcript.
Dual credit has an application and testing process that must be followed prior to acceptance into courses. Information is on the counselor website under the dual credit tile or by contacting Mrs. Garcia, the campus dual credit coordinator.
GPA stands for Grade Point Average
Grade Point Averages include all courses taken for high school credit
GPA starts with the first high school credit course taken, even if it is taken in middle school
GPA is based on a 4.0 scale and is unweighted
