[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not that incredibly challenging.   Use the largest weighting factor for the highest level class offered and so on.[/quote]

The point is, it is a very out of date chart. Most students are in the middle math track--should they all be using the Accel/Adv weighting for each year of math? Also, can you tell me what levels of language instruction qualify for "the highest level class offered?" Sidwell has a level of language instruction that correlates to AP, and then some languages go on after that. So does the AP level class get the Accel/Adv weighting? Or the AP weighting? If it gets Accel/Adv, which levels get AP weighting?[/quote]

I think the college counseling office can tell you which classes get which weights.  I seem to recall the middle track math classes got some sort of bump.[/quote]

Except the entire thing is really irrelevant, since they are clear that they do not officially calculate GPA (even an unweighted one) or provide it to any entity other than service academies and for some scholarships.[/quote]

Agree.  I think it was a mistake for Sidwell to get into the GPA calculating business.  They did not do that until about five years ago.[/quote]
