GRADE SCALE &
CALCULATION OF QUALITY POINT AVERAGE (QPA)
Quality Point Average (QPA) is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points by the total number of attempted credits.
EXAMPLE: (QP) 24.750 / (ATT) 6.25 = (AVG) 3.960
If a course is repeated, both grades will be figured into the QPA. Only one credit is allowed toward graduation requirements.
If a course is failed, the credit value for the course is added to the attempted credits. The failed course will also be figured in to the QPA.
Gold Cord (Highest Honors) - QPA Higher than a 4.0
Silver Cord (High Honors) - QPA of 3.75 to 4.0
Red Cord (Honors) - QPA of 3.5 to 3.749
Blue NHS Stole - National Honor Society (3.85)
* Military Cord - Those entering Military Program/Service
** Qualifications for students to receive Honor Cords are based upon the total QPA at the end of the third quarter of the senior year.
