The semester grade will be determined by averaging the eighteen week grading period with the final exam.
100 - 90 = A |
89 - 80 = B |
I = Incomplete |
79 - 70 = C |
WP = Withdrawal Passing |
69 - 60 = D |
|
59 and below = F |
|
Students receiving an "I" have two (2) weeks in which to complete the work. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher with regard to completion of course requirements. If the requirements are not completed within two weeks, the grade becomes an automatic "F."
Students withdrawing from a class AFTER the first nine weeks of a semester, will receive a "WP" if passing the class at the time of withdrawing and an "F" if failing at the time of withdrawal. Student permanent records reflect semester grades only.
Grade Point Average (GPA) - All courses will count in determining a student’s grade point average. Courses are designed as either weighted or unweighted. A weighted grade system is used at J.T.H.S to compute Grade Point Average (G.P.A.). Weighted grades take into account both student achievement and course difficulty. A grade weight is given to each course based upon its relative difficulty.
The following two-tiered weighting system will be used to compute Grade Point Average (G.P.A.).
Un-weighted Courses |
Weighted Courses |
A 4 |
A 5 |
B 3 |
B 4 |
C 2 |
C 3 |
D 1 |
D 2 |
F 0 |
F 0 |
Academic Recognition
J.T.H.S. has adopted a system of Cum Laude recognition based on the following G.P.A.:
3.5 - 3.74 = Cum Laude
3.75 - 3.99 = Magna Cum Laude
4.0 = Summa Cum Laude
