Honor Roll Policy
The Honor Roll Review Committee recommended, and the East Hampton High School faculty and the Board of Education approved, the following plan for computing the honor roll. This system provides a means for recognizing and honoring those students who have attained high levels of achievement in their academic endeavors. For honor roll calculations, a simple (non-weighted) grade point average is used.

In order to determine a student’s honor roll status, letter grades are assigned quality points as follows:

A+ = 4.33            B+ = 3.33      C+ = 2.33      D+ = 1.33

A   = 4.00            B   = 3.00      C   = 2.00      D   = 1.00

A-  = 3.67            B-  = 2.67      C-  = 1.67      D-  =   .67

F = 0

High Honors
A grade point average of at least 3.67 on a 4.0 system.

Honors
A grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 system.

The following provisions will apply to attain honor roll status:

  • A student must carry a full course load.

  • There can be no incomplete grades.

  • There can be no grade below C-.


Class Rank
N
umerical grades are converted to our Weighted Point System each year. Multiply the credit assigned to each class and divide by the total number of credits registered during that period. The students are then assigned a rank by their quality point ratio.

At midyear, seniors’ midyear grades are averaged and converted to one-half the Weighted Point System. This is added to the three-year cumulative quality point total, and this number is divided by the total number of credits attempted during the three and a half year period. Students are then assigned a final rank by their quality point ratio.
