[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is top GPA after 9th 4.5? Or can students take more than 2 AP in 9th? Getting 4.5 by 3 honors Alg1, geometry Alg 2 before 9th and pe in summer pass/fail so in 9th do 3 honors for IBET, a language, AP pre-calc, AP human geography and band= 40+6x.5 +2x1=49 so 45/10=4.5[/quote]

How did you get 40?[/quote]

10 classes x 4.0=40, add .5 for 6 honors and 1.0 for 2AP = weighted 4.5 (can be higher if take &gt; 2 APs or something P/F)[/quote]

Design and Tech is not an honors class. 
Foreign language in MS is not counted as an honors class
i think foreign language at TJ is also not counted as a honors class, unless AP. not sure

So it would be very rare, and an unusual amount of APs to have 4.5 at the end of 9th grade. Part of why TJ and other schools don't rank. [b]With people gaming the system with APs bumps, ranking by GPA doesn't really as much as it did 20 yrs ago.[/b] [/quote]

Right, no college is going to look at an A in PE as a negative even if it leads to a lower weighted GPA compared to another who took it P/F.
Take classes that push you, that you enjoy, and do well in them.[/quote]

I've heard the same thing.  Who knows if its true.  I hear kids taking summer language courses P/F and taking a core class P/F seems nuts to me but if it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.[/quote]
