GRADING AND RANKING OF STUDENTS
Beginning this year all high schools in North Carolina will be on a 10 point grading scale. Under the new scale grades and grade point average calculations will be applied as follows:
| Letter Grade | Grade Range | QPA |
| A | 90-100 | 4.0 |
| B | 80-89 | 3.0 |
| C | 70-79 | 2.0 |
| D | 60-69 | 1.0 |
| F | <59 | 0.0 |
The new quality points standard will provide an additional .5 quality point to Honors courses and a 1.0 additional quality point to Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate courses, community colleges courses, or four year university or college courses taken in high school.
PLEASE NOTE: New standards for quality points will take effect for the ninth graders in the fall of 2015-16 and all students entering high school after that year. This quality points change will not affect students who will be in grades 10, 11 or 12 in 2015-16.
