5430 - CLASS RANK
The Board of Education acknowledges the usefulness of a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking for high school graduates, both to inform students of their relative academic placement among their peers and to provide students, prospective employers, and institutions of higher learning with a predictive device so that each student is more likely to be placed in an environment conducive to success.
The Board authorizes a system of class ranking, by grade point average, for students in grade(s) 9-12.
No student shall be eligible for graduation honors, such as Valedictorian, etc. unless they have been enrolled for three (3) consecutive semester(s) prior to the final semester utilized for purposes of determining such honors.
All students shall be ranked together.
A student's grade point average and rank in class shall be entered on his/her record and shall be subject to the Board's policy on release of student records.
Rank in class shall be entered on students' records and on all transcripts where they will be available for review by authorized persons.
The Superintendent shall develop procedures for the computation of grade point averages and the assignment of rank in class to implement this policy which shall include:
| A. | a provision for students graduating before their class; | |
| B. | a system for fairly averaging makeup courses; | |
| C. | a statement of the methods for such computation and assignment to be made available for those to whom a student's grade point average or rank in class is released. |
