How is Class Rank determined at your child's school?

Our school shows only UNWEIGHTED gpa on transcripts, but the class rank is very weighted.

Class rank is based on an average of all the classes taken. Value is assigned for number grade. For a grade of 100:

Pre-AP/AP/Dual = 8
Advanced = 7
Regular = 6
Modified = 5

The value goes down 1/10 of a point for every number grade down from 100.

I should say that it does no good, as far as class rank to pile up on non-academic dual or AP classes.

“Only courses taken in the core subject areas of English, mathematics, science, and social studies shall be counted as Advanced, Pre-AP, AP, or dual courses for purposes of class rank and GPA.”
