Class Ranking

All high school courses including correspondence, night school, college courses taken for dual credit, credit-by-exam, and summer school, starting with courses taken between the eighth- and ninth- grade, are averaged in the class rank with the exception of teacher student assistant, local credit, and courses taken under the pass/fail option. High school credit courses taken by seventh- or eighth-grade students and completed by the end of the eighth-grade year will not count in class ranking with the exceptions of Geometry, Biology, and the third or higher levels of a foreign language. Rank will be determined by grade point averages (G.P.A.) of the students. Estimated class rankings are to be determined at the end of the junior year and first semester of the senior year for the express purpose of college entrance requirements. Another ranking shall be performed at the end of the fifth six-weeks grading period to identify summa cum laude, magna cum laude, and cum laude graduates. No valedictorian or salutatorian will be officially recognized at graduation.

Honor Graduate Designation

At graduation ceremonies, graduates will be recognized in the following categories: summa cum laude (6.5 G.P.A.), magna cum laude (6.25 G.P.A.), and cum laude (6.0 G.P.A.). A final calculation of G.P.A. and class rank is determined at the end of the senior year and will be reflected on the final transcript which is sent to colleges.

Grading Scale

Grade points are allocated for a course of study based on the designation of the course as follows:

Graduation Requirements

Students have the option of graduating with one of three types of diplomas:  Minimum High School Program, Recommended High School Program, or Distinguished Achievement Program. Beginning with the class of 2008, students must enroll in the courses necessary to complete the Recommended High School Program, unless the student, parent, and a school counselor agree that the student should be permitted to graduate under the Minimum High School Program.

In addition to meeting specific course requirements to earn a diploma, students must pass the state-mandated exit-level Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

Criteria for the Minimum and Recommended programs are shown in the table below.

Requirements may change pending action of the State Board of Education.

Students who wish to pursue the Distinguished Achievement Program should consult with their counselor and refer to the Course Offerings and Descriptions booklet, which provides more detailed information.

Note:  Toward Excellence, Access, and Success (TEXAS), a grant program, covers tuition and fees to Texas public universities, community colleges, and technical schools for students who successfully complete the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement programs and have financial need.

* Specific courses are designated to meet requirements.  See course description booklet or your counselor.
