Traditional Grades and GPA Guidelines

All courses (except P.E. and select Independent Study Courses) are assigned letter grades based on achieved percentage points that generally fall within these breaks:

A (4) 90 - 100 % B (3) 80 - 89 C (2) 70 - 79 D (1) 60 - 69 F (0) below 60

Grade Point Averages:

  • Grade point averages each semester are calculated on a 4-point scale (A=4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0).
  • Only academic courses are used to compute the GPA. Courses excluded from the GPA calculation are: P.E. and Driver's Education.
  • The GPA shown on the student transcript includes only work completed at University Laboratory High School.
  • Pluses and minuses are not included in the GPA.
  • No summer school work or college courses concurrently taken at the University of Illinois or Parkland College are included in the GPA calculation.
  • The GPA is calculated using the final course grade. If a course is repeated, both final grades are reported on the transcript, but only the repeated course grade is included in the GPA calculation.
  • As a general rule, only courses completed in grades 9-12 at University Laboratory High School are included in the GPA. Subfreshman classes at 葡京线上游戏网址, with the exception of math and foreign language courses, are not included in the GPA calculation.
