Weighted Grades and Ranking System
Starting with the class of 2010, Louisville High School will have a weighted grading system. Student class ranks will be determined by the challenging nature of the courses taken and the number of classes taken, a number set at the maximum of seven since we have a seven period day. An "A" in an advanced placement course will count 5 points. An "A" in a regular course will be worth 4 points. An "A" in an honors class will carry a point value of 4.5. A grade of C will be valued at 2 points, no matter what type of course is offered. The same is true for a grade of a "D".
Both the 4.0 point scale GPA and the weighted GPA will appear on the grade card and transcript. The rank will be determined by using the weighted GPA.
