214. Class Rank

1.Purpose

The Board acknowledges the usefulness of a system of computing grade point averages and class ranking for secondary school students to inform students, parents and others of their relative academic placement among their peers under relatively similar circumstances.

2. Authority

The Board authorizes a system of class ranking, using total quality points, for students in grades 9 through 12. All students shall be ranked by class together.

3.Guidelines






Pol. 216

Any two or more students whose total quality points are identical shall be given the same rank. The rank of the student who immediately follows a tied position will be determined by the number of students preceding him/her and not by the rank of the person preceding him/her.

A student's grade point average and rank in class shall be entered on his/her record and transcripts and shall be subject to the Board's policy on release of student records.

4.Delegation
of Responsibility

The Superintendent shall develop procedures for the computation of grade point averages and the assignment of rank in class to implement this policy.
