How is grade point average computed?
All semester grades (A-E) appear on the report card and on the permanent record card and are used in determining grade point average (GPA) and weighted grade point average (WGPA) in accordance with the procedures set forth in MCPS Regulation IKC-RA, which can be read/downloaded from http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/ikcra.pdf, Grade Point Averages and Weighted Grade Point Averages. An additional quality point is added to grades of “A” and “B” in all honors courses and to a grade of “C” in advanced placement and advanced level courses to determine WGPA. MCPS does not rank students.
