Grade Point Average is

The school year is divided in four marking periods and two semesters. There are three types of grades: quarter, end of semester, and/or end of the year. The quarter grades are determined at the end of the eight to ten week periods. These grades are composed by the average of the scores given from activities and individual or group projects, class participation, daily homework, quizzes and the quarter evaluation.

The end of the semester grade results from averaging the quarter grades plus the percentage assigned to the semester exam. In grades 2nd to 6th the semester exam has a value of 14% and for Junior High and High School the exam has a value of 20% of the semester average except Spanish and DR Social Studies were its value is 30%. The yearly grade is an average grade of each semester.

Grade Point Average is a weighted average of each subject proportional to the number of credits and/or hours it meets in a week. Students in 9 –12 are ranked in their class according to their GPA.



HONOR ROLL

Students that have received Academic Merit, with satisfactory conduct, at the end of each quarter will be added to the Honor Roll. Those students that have been on the Honor Roll for all quarters will receive an Honors Certificate or a Medal of Excellence at the end of the school year.
