How does your HS report GPA?

Our high school doesn’t report rank beyond ‘top 9%’ (for UC admissions) and ‘top 10%’ for everything else. ‘Valedictorian’ is everyone who has unweighted 4.0, which is usually around 7 or 8 kids, so no games with dropping music classes to eek out an edge numerically. Class commencement speaker is a separate thing that you try out for.

We have almost no honors courses… I think the only exception is 4th year language counts as honors even if you decide not to take the AP test. Otherwise there’s a 1 point boost for actual AP classes (not pre-AP) for the GPA.
