Excerpts from the 2023 School Profile
Grading System
-
- Unweighted letter grades given in all courses.
- GPA based on credit-bearing courses through junior year.
- Transfer students’ final average based on Schreiber grades only.
- All subjects included in GPA except physical education.
- Course levels designated by AP (Advanced Placement), H (Honors), and R (Regents).
*Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, our school district was forced to close abruptly in early March 2020. This resulted in our students having to finish out the school year through remote learning. Consequently, our grading system was modified, and is included below.*
-
- A pass/no grade grading system was implemented for the 4th quarter.
- Final grades were calculated using grades from quarters one to three.
| Grade Conversion | GPA Value |
| A+ = 95-100 | 4.5 |
| A = 90 - 94 | 4.0 |
| B+ = 85 - 89 | 3.5 |
| B = 80 - 84 | 3.0 |
| C+ = 75 - 79 | 2.5 |
| C = 70 - 74 | 2.0 |
| D = 65 - 69 | 1.0 |
| F = below 65 | 0.0 |
Weighting
-
- Letter grades are unweighted.
- GPA is weighted; Honors and AP courses receive an extra 1.0 weight for each full-year course, and 0.5 weight for each semester course.
