SEQUENCING AND GPA CALCULATION

Two grade point averages are calculated.
The unweighted GPA is based on a traditional 4.0 scale.
The weighted GPA is based on a traditional 4.0 scale with an
additional 1.0 value for Honors and Advanced
Placement courses.
NOTE: Courses taken at other high schools or
programs are not included in our GPA calculations.
There are two categories of levels when calculating the
weighted grade point average and they are:
Introductory/College courses provide a strong
foundation in the subject and prepare students for
more advanced academic work. They are designed
to emphasize the development of the study skills
necessary for continued progress in the discipline
and for success in college. These levels provide the
background necessary for success on SAT II Subject
Tests. Both levels prepare students for successful
post-secondary education.
Honors/Advanced Placement courses are
conducted at a level which is comparable to
college work and may prepare students for AP
examinations. Courses that specifically follow
the AP curriculum are so designated in their titles.
Teacher recommendations and/or departmental
approval may be required prior to enrollment.

1. Only courses in the five
academic majors and honorslevel fine arts elective courses
are used to calculate the
weighted G.P.A.
2. Multiply the value of the grade
by the credit value of the
course.
3. Divide the total of #1 by the total
credits of courses being ranked.
4. The result is the weighted G.P.A.
of courses for grades 9-11 inclusive.
Only those courses taken at Wayland
High School are included in the weighted G.P.A.
*Please note: The highest possible GPA is a 4.949 due to the fact that some ninth grade courses are no longer offered at
the Honors level and therefore it is not possible for a student to earn a 5.0 GPA equivalent. Please also note that several
electives are not offered at the honors level, so their grade value can never be factored in as a 5.0 either.
