INSTRUCTION CLASS RANK

The board acknowledges the usefulness of a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking for secondary school graduates to inform students, parents and others of their relative academic placement among their peers.

The board authorizes a system of class ranking, by grade point average, for students in grades 9-12. Class rank shall be computed by the final grade except that non-numerical marks/grades shall be excluded from the calculation of the grade point average.

A student's grade point average shall be reported on his/her annual transcript. Such calculations may also be used for recognizing individual students for their achievement.
