HONOR ROLL

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RECOGNITION OF OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Elementary students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance should be recognized for their achievement. As criteria for outstanding achievement, students in grades 2 through 5 minimally must attain a 3.00 grade point average with any combination of A’s, B’s and no more than one C. Schools should recognize outstanding work in a variety of ways as often as possible. Students may also be recognized for excellent work in specific subjects or when they demonstrate academic improvement across marking periods. Schools also are encouraged to recognize the academic achievement of students who do not meet the criteria for outstanding achievement but whose performance is improving.

For the purposes of averaging the following scale shall be used: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, E = 0.

MIDDLE SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
The Honor Roll is earned recognition for high level academic achievement in all subjects. The Honor Roll shall be compiled at the conclusion of each of the progress report cards. Eligibility for this honor shall be determined by computing an average of the student’s grades in the report period. Subjects receiving a pass/fail grade will not be considered for the Honor Roll.

A student, to be eligible for this honor, must obtain an average of “B” (3.0) or better, not have received more than one grade of “C” or “C+” and no grade of C- or below. If an “I” (incomplete) appears on the report card for any subject, determination of eligibility is to be made after the incomplete is terminated. A student earning a 3.8 average shall be recognized as a Distinguished Honor Student.

For the purpose of averaging, the following point scale shall be used: A = 4.0, A- = 3.62, B+ = 3.38, B = 3.0, B- = 2.62, C+ = 2.38, C = 2.0, C- = 1.62, D+ = 1.38, D = 1.0, F = 0.

HIGH SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
The Honor Roll is earned recognition for high level academic achievement in all subjects. The Honor Roll shall be compiled at the conclusion of each of the progress report card periods. Eligibility for this honor shall be determined by computing an average of the student’s grades for all subjects taken during the reporting period.

A student, to be eligible for this honor, must obtain an average of “B” (3.0) or better not have received more than one grade of “C” or “C+” and no grade of “C-“ or below. If an “I” for work which is legitimately incomplete appears on the report card for any subject, determination of eligibility is to be made after the Incomplete is terminated. A student earning a 3.8 average shall be recognized as a Distinguished Honor Student.

For the purpose of averaging, the following point scale shall be used: A = 4.0, A- = 3.62, B+ = 3.38, B = 3.0, B- = 2.62, C+ = 2.38, C = 2.0, C- = 1.62, D+ = 1.38, D = 1.0, F = 0.
