EASTON AREA
SCHOOL DISTRICT
No. 214
SECTION:
PUPILS
TITLE:
CLASS RANK
ADOPTED:
March 5, 2007
REVISED:
214. CLASS RANK
1.
Purpose
The Board acknowledges the necessity for a system of computing grade point
averages and class rank for secondary school students to inform students, parents/
guardians and others of their relative academic placement among their peers.
2.
Authority
The Board authorizes a system of class rank, by grade point average, for students in
grades 9-12. All students shall be ranked together.
3.
Guidelines
Class rank shall be computed on the basis of cumulative averages of all marking
periods and final grades received in all subjects for which credit is awarded in grades
9-12.
Any two (2) or more students whose computed grade point averages 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 and not by the rank
of the proceeding person.
Pol. 216
A student's grade point average and rank in class shall be entered on the student's
record and transcripts and shall be subject to Board policy on release of student
records.
Grade Weighting
Certain courses shall be weighted, and may include advanced placement and honors
courses.
4.
Delegation of
Responsibility
The Superintendent or designee shall develop procedures for computing grade point
averages and assigning class rank to implement this policy, which shall include a
statement of the methods for computation and rank assignment for those to whom a
student's grade point average and class rank are released.
