Tell me how it works in your tweeners school. Do you have to get straight A.'s?, a few B's, maybe you can get a C.
I'm curious how this all works. I was looking at Hannah's school web site and noticed that Hannah was on the honor roll. She got a C in Science. I'm going to call the school at some point today and ask them about it. :)

At our school to make the honor roll you must have a gpa of 3.5 or higher. To make the principals honor roll you must have a gpa of 4.0 or higher. Report cards came today and dd & ds both made the honor roll :).

This is the weight of each grade and all grades are averaged.

A+ = 4.30
A = 4.0
A- = 3.70
B+ = 3.30
B = 3.0
B- = 2.70
C+ = 2.30
C = 2.0
C- = 1.70
D+ = 1.30
D = 1.0
D- = .75
F = 0

Lynn's weighting system is the same as ours. However, pe is half a credit and the "real" classes weigh more. 3.0 is honor roll, 3.5 is high honor roll. Our middle school does it at the end of the year, not by the trimester. There is a big award ceremony and they have 2 levels of awards. If you earn 500 points during middle school you earn a cup, if you earn 1500 points you get your name engraved on a plaque on the wall. You get points for high honor roll, honor roll, sports, extracurricular activities, student council, volunteer hours, etc.

Where we are, a GPA of 3.5 to 4.0 is the Honor Roll. 3.0-3.5 is Honorable Mention. To figure it, A's are worth 4 pts, B's are 3, etc... Then you average them. So you can get all A's, but one C and still be on the Honor Roll.

I posted the wrong info. :)
In order to get high honors you have to have a 4.0 NOT a 3.0
In order to get on the honor roll you have to have 3.0 or better. :)

We have A honor roll. You have to have straight A's for that. We also have an A/B honor roll and no grade can be lower than a B.

Some schools do an average so if your GPA is in the B range or better you get honor roll. This would allow for an occasional C to squeak by. Personally I don't approve of this concept myself and I'm glad our school doesn't use this system.

Ours is done on a pure numbers, so if you got all A's and 1 C, then you would be on the honor roll.

I have just posted about this on other boards. I do not think our system or middle schools know what they are doing. In Elementary you couldnt have Cs but the middle schools were allowing as long as you have As to go with them. Now you cant have Cs as far as I know. My son was on the honor roll for five quarters with having Cs but then 2nd quarter all of a sudden you cant do it. He had 3.0 average which to me is good. All of a sudden they do not show averages anymore either. Here they have A and A/B honor rolls. Where I grew up and my kids were in that system awhile, they have A, A/B and B(you can have Cs as long as you have As to go with them). I like this one the best because they give credit to all who do well. So I tell people like family my son wasnt on the honor roll but if he lived there he would be. My youngest keeps missing the A honor roll by one B.

I don't like it either. Honors means A's and B's in my book.
