Grade Point Average
In order to account for the differing challenges and requirements at the various levels of instruction, the following “weights” are assigned in calculating Grade Point Average. We do not use grade point averages to calculate class rank. Reports on the school profile and on students' transcripts may include information on grade and GPA distribution within the class.
| Grade | Advanced Placement | Honors | College Prep |
|---|---|---|---|
| A+ | 5.3 | 5.0 | 4.7 |

Academic Recognition, Continued
Academic Excellence Awards
At an assembly in the spring, academic excellence awards are given for each course using several criteria, including Improvement and Excellence.
Book Awards
The school participates in several book awards, including a Harvard Prize Book sponsored by Peter Panchy. The qualifying criteria for the awards range from academic achievement to community service accomplishments to student-athlete attributes.
Scholarships
Prior to the graduation exercises, a faculty committee and community organizations meet to award thousands of dollars in local scholarship monies to seniors and alumni. While many scholarships are need-based, the student’s academic record plays a strong role in all awards. In some cases, students can access information about scholarships on the school’s website.
