Semester 1 Honor Roll Info
The Semester 1 Honor Roll will be released to the media this week. SMS honor roll status is earned by students based on their grade point averages. Students can figure out their GPAs by using this simple process.
1) Add up the total points for your SEMESTER (not quarter) grades. Each semester grade is worth points according to the scale below.
A+ and A = 4.0 points
A- = 3.7 points
B+ = 3.3 points
B = 3.0 points
B- = 2.7 points
C+ = 2.3 points
C = 2.0 points
C- = 1.7 points
D+ = 1.3 points
D = 1.0 points
D- = .7 points
F = 0 points
2) Divide the total points by the number of semester grades you added (example: 20.3 / 6 = 3.38). This number is your GPA (grade point average).
3) Compare your GPA to the award system below:
Gold Honor Roll - 4.0
Silver Honor Roll - 3.5 to 3.99
Bronze Honor Roll - 3.0-3.49.
GPAs below 3.0 do not qualify for honor roll.
Semester grades are used for our year-end academic awards program. Questions? Ask Miss Nass!
