GRADING SYSTEM
Both an unweighted and weighted rank is calculated for each student (who has attended Stamford Public Schools for at least four semesters), using the grade point average of the final marks earned in each course, except pass/fail courses and independent study. The unweighted cumulative GPA is a simple average of all courses in grades 9-12 on a 4.0 scale. The weighted GPA is calculated by adding .05 for each Honors course and .07 for each AP and ECE course.
