Hauppauge High School Class Rank

History

In 2003-2004, the rank regulation was reviewed and the

current system was implemented for the Class of 2006 and thereafter.

As more students and colleges requested weighted grade

point averages (GPA’s), the quality point system was extended to generate a weighted GPA.

SLIDE 3

Reasons for Update:

Create transparency in the ranking process.
Currently rank is calculated ONLY one time in the fall of the

senior year. The weighted GPA is being requested as early as ninth grade.

The current quality point system creates an extremely high

weighted GPA. This is not in line with the weighting in surrounding districts.

Need to include International Baccalaureate (IB) courses in the

regulation.

SLIDE 4

Comparison to Current Rank

Current Updated

Level II (Electives) and

Level III (Regents) courses will not have any quality points added.

Rank will be generated

for students in Grades 10, 11, and 12 each September.

Level II (Electives) do

not have quality points

added. Level III

(Regents) courses have quality points added.

Rank is generated in

September for Grade 12

nly.

SLIDE 5

Current

Rank is reported numerically for the

top 50% of the class only. Percentiles are used for the remainder of the class.

Current transcripts report only an

unweighted GPA.

Seniors must have earned 15.5

credits in order to be ranked with their cohort.

IB courses are not included.
Quality points assigned to each level:
Level 2: Electives: 0 pts
Level 3: Regents: 5 pts
Level 4: Honors: 10 pts
Level 5: College: 15 pts
Level 6: AP/IB: 20 pts

Updated

Rank will be reported numerically for

all students with a weighted GPA of 80.00 or higher.

Report an unweighted and weighted

GPA on transcripts.

Seniors must earn 15 credits in order

to be ranked with their cohort. Grades 10 & 11 will be ranked with their cohort regardless of credits earned.

IB courses will be Level VI (equivalent

to AP courses).

Quality points assigned to each level

will be:

Level 3: Regents & Electives: 0 pts
Level 4: Honors: 3 pts
Level 5: College: 6 pts
Level 6: AP/IB: 9 pts

SLIDE 6

Goal

Re-calculate the weighted GPA in order to be comparable to

surrounding districts.

Continue to have the valedictorian be the student who takes

the most rigorous courses and earns the highest grades.

SLIDE 7

Phase In Process

Transcripts will report both a weighted and unweighted GPA.
Rank will be calculated in September of 2012 using the

current quality point system for students in Grades 10, 11, & 12.

Starting with the 2012-13 school year, and thereafter, all

courses will be weighted using the updated quality point system.

For the Class of 2017 the updated quality point system will be

fully implemented.

SLIDE 8

In Addition :

The High School profile will be revised each year.
An early graduate that is eligible to be ranked as a senior will

need to have the weighting of their courses on their transcript changed to match the cohort they will be graduating with.
