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 s 20 t n 3.33 = 4.16 2.00 = 2.50 0.00 = 0.00 e d u t 15 s f o # 10 Weighted Scale for AP Courses (40%) 5 0 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4.33 = 6.06 3.00 = 4.20 1.67 = 2.34 . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 4.00 = 5.60 2.67 = 3.74 1.33 = 1.86 Weighted GPA Distribution, Class of 2019 3.67 = 5.14 2.33 = 3.26 1.00 = 1.40 3.33 = 4.66 2.00 = 2.80 0.00 = 0.00 18 16 14 s 12 t n e Mean ACT Scores 2016 2017 2018 d 10 u t s f 8 o Ithaca High School 26.0 27.9 26.9 # 6 4 New York State 23.9 24.2 24.5 2 0 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 2018 AP Scores Number of Students Evidence Based 5 267 Mean SAT Scores Reading & Writing Math 4 251 17-18 18-19 17-18 18-19 3 153 Ithaca High School 626 663 628 676 2 64 New York State 538 594 533 613 1 19 National 531 588 528 591 CLASS OF 2018 Hamilton College Pennsylvania State University SUNY Geneseo COLLEGE MATRICULATION Hampshire College Pratt Institute SUNY Morrisville PARTIAL LIST Hartwick College Purdue University SUNY New Paltz Bard College Houghton College Queens University SUNY Oneonta Bentley University Howard University Rochester Institute of Technology Syracuse University Binghamton University Ithaca College Sarah Lawrence College Tompkins Cortland Community College Boston University Johnson & Wales University Smith College University at Bualo Brandeis University Le Moyne College St. Bonaventure University University of California, Berkeley California State University, Long Beach Loyola University St. John's University University of California, Los Angelas Carleton University Macalester College Stanford University University of Chicago Carnegie Mellon University Marist College Stony Brook University University of Delaware Case Western University McGill University SUNY Albany University of Oregon Cazenovia College Middleburry College SUNY Binghamton University of Toronto Colgate University Monroe Community College SUNY Brockport University of Vermont Columbia University Northeastern University SUNY Cobleskill Utah State University Cornell University Northwestern University SUNY Cortland Virginia Tech Earlham College Oberlin Conservatory of Music SUNY Delhi Wells College Fordam University Onondaga Community College SUNY ESF Wesleyan University Gettysburg College Pace University SUNY Fredonia Worchester Polytechnic Institute Pg. 2.
