The Ithaca City School District Board of Education (Policy #4741) eliminated Grading Scale the practice of ranking students by decile. Instead, Ithaca High School calculates two cumulative grade point averages (weighted and un-weighted). 97-100 4.33 A+ 77-79 2.33 C+ Both are provided to colleges through the student’s high school transcript. 93-96 4.00 A 73-76 2.00 C The un-weighted GPA is computed as an average of nal course grades of all 90-92 3.67 A- 70-72 1.67 C- traditionally graded IHS courses. The weighted GPA is computed using an 87-89 3.33 B+ 68-69 1.33 D+ honor point scale, as shown in the charts below. Both weighted and un-weighted GPA exclude courses in, academic assistance labs and those 83-86 3.00 B 65-67 1.00 D taken pass/fail, abroad or outside the IHS curriculum. 80-82 2.67 B- <65 0.00 F Computed scales are as follows:

Weighted Scale for Honors Courses (25%) Unweighted GPA Distribution, Class of 2019 4.33 = 5.41 3.00 = 3.75 1.67 = 2.09 4.00 = 5.00 2.67 = 3.34 1.33 = 1.66 30 3.67 = 4.59 2.33 = 2.91 1.00 = 1.25 25
