Grades earned in courses identified as honors, Advanced Placement, or joint-enrolled with a local college receive a the following weighting:

Honors=1.05

Advanced Placement=1.10

Joint Enrollment=1.10

 

This weighting is not applied to individual grades on the transcript but is applied when the cumulative average is calculated. Courses with no identifier and identified as advanced earn no weighting. Class rank is determined by the weighted cumulative grade point average at the end of each semester and is computed on a 100 point scale.  

 

Students are required to earn 28 units for graduation. Included in these units must be courses which meet the state of Georgia’s requirements in addition to the additional academics required by the Oconee County Board of Education.
