GPA AND CLASS RANK… STARTS NOW!Class Rank is based on

a student’s weighted

GPA. Colleges look at

both GPA and Class

Rank.

Freshman ranks will be

available mid-February!

To calculate: add up all of your

points based on each grade you

received and divide by the

number of credits earned! High

school credits/grades earned at

the junior high level do not factor

into GPA, nor do local

credits/grades.

CLASS RANKTO DETERMINE WHICH QUARTER YOU ARE IN, DIVIDE THE

TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN THE CLASS OF 2021 BY

4:

EXAMPLE: IF THE CLASS OF 2021 HAS 620 STUDENTS…

1ST QTR= STUDENTS WITH RANK 1 – 155

2ND QTR= STUDENTS WITH RANK 156 – 310

3RD QTR= STUDENTS WITH RANK 311 – 465

4TH QTR= STUDENTS WITH RANK 466 – 620

Class rank is determined using GPA.• The first number in the rank is the student’s

position in the class.

• The second number in the rank is the total number

of students in that grade.

• Example: 104/620 Based on the student’s current

GPA, she is 104 out of 620 students in her class,

which means she falls in the 1st qtr.
