CLASS RANK and GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Class rank is only reported for students in the top 10% of the class. All other students will have their cumulative grade point average reported without a class rank. To make this determination, Plano ISD uses two grade point average calculations:
Cumulative GPA
- Summary of semester grades for all classes taken in high school as well as high school credit(s) earned in middle school
- Not used to determine class rank
- Reported on the transcript for all students.
Ranking GPA & Class Rank
- Designated courses in the subject areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies are included in the ranking GPA calculation.
- Internally calculated for the purpose of determining class rank
- Only reported on the transcript for students in the top 10% of the graduating class
