WEIGHTED GPA PROFILE FOR CLASS OF 2013

Size of Class: 220

Highest Weighted GPA in the class of 2013: 4.918*

Table of Weights Computing the Weighted G.P.A.

AP and Honors Intro./College A 5.0 4.0 1. Only courses in the five A- 4.7 3.7 academic majors and honors- B+ 4.3 3.3 level fine arts elective courses B 4.0 3.0 are used to calculate the B- 3.7 2.7 weighted G.P.A. C+ 3.3 2.3 2. Multiply the value of the grade C 3.0 2.0 by the credit value of the course C- 2.7 1.7 3. Divide the total of #1 by the total D+ 2.3 1.3 credits of courses being ranked. D 2.0 1.0 4. The result is the weighted G.P.A. D- 1.7 .7 of courses for grades 9-11 inclusive. F 0 0 5. Only those courses taken at Wayland High School are included in the weighted G.P.A.

*Please note: The highest possible GPA is a 4.949 due to the fact that some ninth grade courses are no longer offered at the Honors level and therefore it is not possible for a student to earn a 5.0 GPA equivalent. Please also note that several electives are not offered at the honors level, so their grade value can never be factored in as a 5.0 either.
