District 230 uses a weighted grade system which adds additional weight to grades in Honors/Advanced Placement courses with a grade of “C” or better. Courses taken at a community college as an extension of District 230 honors sequences will receive weighted grades similar to District 230 Honors courses. This grade point average is based on a 4-point scale for Academic and Basic classes and a 5-point scale for Honors and Advanced Placement grades of C or higher (see chart below). The GPA and percentile band will apply for all approved out-of-district and in-district uses.
