GRADING SYSTEM, GPA, & CLASS RANK
Home > About Uni > Grading System, GPA, & Class Rank
All courses (except P.E. and select Independent Study Courses) are assigned letter grades with numerical that generally fall within these breaks:
| A (4) | 90 - 100 % |
| B (3) | 80 - 89 |
| C (2) | 70 - 79 |
| D (1) | 60 - 69 |
| F | below 60 |
Grade Point Averages:
- Grade point averages are calculated on a 4-point scale. No course "weighting" occurs except for the accelerated math courses as follows. If a student receives a grade below an "A" in an accelerated math class, the grade used in the GPA calculation will be one point higher than the grade received in the class. (Example: If a student receives a grade of "B" in Accelerated Geometry, a "B" will appear on the transcript, but an "A" will be used for GPA calculations. If, however, a student receives an "A" in the class, he/she does not receive extra points in the GPA.)
- Only academic courses are used to compute the GPA. Courses excluded from the GPA calculation are: P.E., Chorus, Orchestra, Madrigals, Jazz Band, and Driver Education.
- The GPA shown on the student transcript includes only work completed at University Laboratory High School.
- No summer school work or college courses concurrently taken at the University of Illinois or Parkland College are included in the GPA calculation.
- The GPA is calculated using the final course grade. If a course is repeated, both final grades are reported on the transcript, but only the repeated course grade is included in the GPA calculation.
- As a general rule, only courses completed in grades 9-12 at University Laboratory High School are included in the GPA. Subfreshman year at Uni High is not included in the GPA calculation.
