Standard Unweighted GPA Chart 

Class Ranking

Class ranking is the system of placing students in descending order according to their weighted grade point averages.  Class ranks are assigned at each high school grade level at the end of each semester.  

Graduation Rankings

Students who graduate in the top 10% of their high school class are eligible for automatic admission to institutions of higher education if they have completed the Foundation with Endorsement Distinguished Level of Achievement plan.  Students who may, due to university policy, be eligible for automatic admission if they are in the top 25% of their graduating class must also complete the Foundation with Endorsement Distinguished plan.  Colleges and universities may require additional courses for admission.  Students should check with the institution they are interested in attending for any additional requirements.    

Honor Graduates
•    Student GPAs will be ranked to determine valedictorian (1st) and salutatorian (2nd).  To be eligible for valedictorian or salutatorian honors, the student shall have attended a Keller Independent School District high school the entire senior year.  If a tie exists, co-valedictorian or co-salutatorians will be declared.
•    Transfer students shall receive honors grade credit and point values based on the same standards and policies which govern students who complete equivalent courses in the district.  Transfer students shall not receive additional grade point value for advanced or honors courses taken outside the district for which an equivalent course was not available in the district for a student graduating the same year.  Students who transfer in with a letter grade will receive the numerical equivalent based on board policy.

Grade Reporting

The attendance law states that students must have 90% attendance in a high school course in order to receive credit for a given course in order to meet the state’s attendance law of course credit.
A student must be present 90% of the days in each class during a semester.  Numerical scores are used to report grades and a minimum grade average of 70 is required for receiving credit.  Credit for a full year course is awarded on a semester-by-semester basis.  Other courses offered locally, which are not among the state approved courses for grades 9-12 are not included in calculating grade point averages and class rank.

Summer Intervention

Summer intervention is provided to give the student the opportunity to take a course that was not successfully completed during the school year.  Registration will be conducted towards the end of the spring semester.  Summer Intervention takes place at a high school campus.
