A student's class ranking is first published in June of the junior
year and is computed based on half-term grades. Class rank is determined
by using total quality points. This ranking factor is computed by
taking the sum of all course credits multiplied by their respective
grade point values. (Example: Honors English 9, 1 credit, grade
A = 5 quality points.)
| The grade earned in Physical Education
will be Pass/Fail and will not be included in computing rank
in class or G.P.A. These credits will, however, be counted toward
credits needed for graduation. |
| Students who take an Algebra 1 and/or
Geometry course (or other approved high school course) in eighth
grade will receive credit for the course(s) and the grade(s)
will be included with their ninth grade courses in computing
rank in class and grade point average. Receiving credit depends
on the following: |
An approved course of studies was followed for the class
and an appropriate textbook was used.
|
The student satisfactorily passes a test over the course
material administered at the high school.
|
|
The grade earned in the eighth grade will
be placed on the student's record; it will be counted as a
weighted grade if it is a weighted class at Cardinal Mooney.
|
| Grades obtained by attending college/university
classes during the school year will be included in computing
rank in class and G.P.A. The Grades earned in such courses will
not be weighted. |
|
The maximum number of credits that will be included in computing
rank in class and G.P.A. will be:
|
Class of 2002
Class of 2003
Class of 2004
Class of 2005
|
30
31
31
31
|
| If a student earns more than the maximum,
the courses with the highest point values will be counted. |
| Students should be aware that the
number of classes taken as well as the grade earned affect the
quality point total. |
