<strong>TIPPECANOE</strong> <strong>HIGH</strong> <strong>SCHOOL</strong> WEIGHTED GRADES POLICY<br />

not considered as honors and will not be weighted. Below is the list of courses that are currently designated<br />
honors or AP.<br />

Limits<br />
A student may take more than 8 weighted classes but only 4 in each area (4 credits in Humanities and 4 credits<br />
in Math/Science) in Honors/AP courses will apply as weighted towards the maximum weighted total. It is the<br />
student’s responsibility to check when scheduling to see how many credits are still available in the maximum<br />
weighted total.<br />
Calculation<br />
The weighted grade will be calculated by adding 0.025 to the cumulative Grade Point Average at the<br />
successful completion of each semester for each weighted course ( only A & B grades will be weighted).<br />
Weighted grades will be used only for class rank. The GPA scale will remain a 4.0 scale. Please note:<br />
Weighted rank will be calculated at the end of the Junior Year and then at the end of the seventh and<br />
eighth semesters.<br />
