[Counselors] Weighted GPA

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We do not give weighted credit for college classes, because we can't be sure the instructors have completed a AP conference or if the type of assignments are comparable to the AP classes.

We only weigh classes through class rank for AP/Dual courses. They have to take so many in order to graduate with honors.

Carl Albert High School does not weight concurrent or dual classes.

We weight all concurrent classes by .5 like a Pre-AP class in Mid-Del

We do not weight concurrent, because not all students can afford the fees associated with the classes.

Yes, we weight all college classes

We do not currently weight them but are planning to change that in our board policy for next year.  In my opinion, concurrent is more beneficial to students while still challenging them academically and my principal and supt agree.

At Bixby- Concurrent/PreAP/Honors/AP are all weighted at a 5 instead of a 4. AP students that take the AP exam for that course and pass it will have the weight of that class changed to a 6 the next fall  instead of a 5 to encourage them to take the exam.

We do not weight concurrent classes.  AP are the only classes which we weight.

For those of you who use high school weighted GPA’s for AP/Honors classes do you weight concurrent classes? If so, any specific rules on which classes you weight? Thanks for the info!
