SHHS GPA SCALE The GPA is the cumulative numerical average of final semester grades earned for completion of a high school diploma. The GPA provides a profile of a student’s overall performance in high school.

91   3.1                 81   2.1                 71   1.1  

CLASS RANK:  The following courses if taken in high school shall carry grade points and be included in the calculation for class ranking:

 AWARDING OF CREDITS  - The State Board of Education has set 70 as a minimum passing grade. Spring Hill I.S.D.’s grading system is as follows:  A=90-100 B=80-89 C=70-79

        F=69 and below (not achieving mastery / credit not earned)

A student may receive credit for a full year course if the average of the two semesters is 70 or above. If the average of the two semesters falls below a grade of 70, one semester must be repeated and a grade of 70 or above earned in the semester for which a grade below 70 was earned. If both semester grades are below 70, the course must be retaken in its entirety. A passing semester cannot be retaken to raise the score. Once a credit has been earned for a course, the course cannot be retaken for the purpose of improving the grade. If a duplicate course occurs, the grade earned the first time the course was taken will stand.

Advanced credit courses are given different weight amounts for the semester grades – only in overall GPA. This weight difference is not recorded on the report card, or transcript, but is automatically calculated in the computer when figuring the grade point average at the end of each semester. The actual grade earned in the class is what is reported on the transcript and on the report card.

Honors, Dual Credit and AP courses receive the weighted points if and only if the student earns a minimum of a 70 for the semester average.

The following courses are state approved Advanced Courses: AP Calculus (AB), AP English Literature, AP English Composition, AP Macroeconomics, AP US Government, AP Art Drawing, AP Art 2D Design, AP Art 3D Design, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP World History, AP US History, AP Seminar, and AP Research.

Locally approved advanced courses: Honors English I, Honors English II, Honors World Geography, Honors Geometry, Honors Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, Honors Physics, and Spanish III.

The following college course work for high school credit (dual credit courses) will be considered advanced credit: HIST 1301/1302, ENGL 1301/1302, PHYS 1401/1402, MATH 1314/1342, GOVT 2305, and ECON 2301

Weight for Advanced Credit Courses (that are not AP): Students taking a locally approved advanced credit course or an approved college academic course for high school credit will earn an additional one (+1) point towards the grade point average. Example: A student’s average in Pre-Calculus is 93, which is a GPA equivalent of 3.3. Adding 1 point for the advanced course designation brings the GPA equivalent to 4.3 grade points for this course.

The following weighted system will apply for all AP courses taken at Spring Hill High School: Two (+2) additional grade points will be awarded for the successful completion of each AP class in which they are enrolled. No additional points are awarded on the basis of the AP Exam score. Example: A student’s average in AP English Language is 93, which is a GPA equivalent of 3.3.Adding 2 points for the AP designation brings the GPA equivalent to 5.3 grade points for this course.
