• Weighted GPA Courses for 2023-24 (as of 1/6/2023)

     

    With the recent addition of allowing for a weighted GPA for use by Colleges/Universities, the following courses will earn additional GPA points towards a weighted GPA.  For any current high school student in the Classes of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, this weighted GPA will only be provided for College/University consideration towards scholarships/admissions and all Liberty Public School academic honors/awards will be based on an unweighted GPA, which was the process in place when students in these graduating classes begain their high school coursework.  A committee will be meeting to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of using weighted GPA's for academic honors/awards for future graduating classes in order to make a proposal to the School Board on how to move forward. 

    Please see the list of courses below and the amount of added GPA points a student would earn towards a weighted GPA per 0.5 high school credit earned (note a student receiving an F in a weighted class received no added GPA point).  Courses that are worth 0.5 points per 0.5 High School credit are due to the course being designed to be taken for up to 2-periods per semester.
