We currently do NOT give HS credit for taking concurrent courses. Here's the situation; Student A has taken no concurrent classes and has a 3.98 GPA over 42 classes. Student B has taken 4 CC classes, receiving A's in each and has a 3.97 GPA over 40 classes. Because A took 2 more electives during the time B was taking college coursework, they beat student B who has definitely put in more effort. Basically they are losing an honor for taking a more challenging course load. How do your schools handle this situation?? Thanks for your input.

If I get the chance I will take a picture of the handbook policy. This is just for valedictorian/salutatorian graduation purposes. In May what the system calculates for GPA is what we list for rank. If you get a chance Our handbook is online just search Navajo public schools, click explore in the right hand corner go to documents and our handbook is about halfway down. We give high school credit for concurrent classes. How we keep similar situations from happening is we weight our AP classes, then class rank and any honors (Valedictorian, Salutatorian, Top Ten Percent) are all based off of the weighted GPA. Students work towards what they really want. Some do a combo of AP and Concurrent, some just AP, some just concurrent. But this keeps the kids who take the easy classes from beating out the students who have put forth more effort. We give HS credit for concurrent classes and they are weighted like our AP & honors classes are - 5.0 for "A", 4.0 for "B", and so on. We weight all of the college classes and use the weighted GPA for VAL/Sal and honor Students Sherry Wilson Nowata High School In Moore we award dual credit for all concurrent courses and we base our credit type on OCAS codes. As far as GPA is concerned, we use a weighted scale for concurrent (4.5 for A’s, etc.). Kristy Hernandez, Ed.D. Director of Student Services Moore Public Schools- 405-735-4298 They weight the concurrent grades at our school and they receive both high school and college credit for the CC classes taken. For each CC class taken 1 full high school credit is received with a passing grade. We count the following classes CompI/II for Senior English College Government- for high Government All college math classes count as a math credit Those are the most common core classes our students take. All other classes count as electives. We are looking at counting Comp I/II and college math classes as honors courses.

It is a very rare occasion that we retain above 3rd grade. For Kg-3rd parents have to sign the APP (I think it's called something else now) at each semester's parent conference acknowledging that their student is behind in reading. That gives us an extra parent signature in addition to the one below.
