Grade point average (GPA) and class rank are based on all traditionally graded courses. The highest repeat grade only is figured in the GPA.  Class rank is based on all students receiving a regular Regents or Advanced Regents diploma.  College-level courses are weighted by adding five percent of the ten week grade to the class average.
