The following chart provides the numerical equivalent to letter grades and how the weighted grade compares to a standard weighting. Honors and AP classes all use the honors calculations while all other classes utilize the standard calculation. The weighted GPA is based on a 4.0 scale with weights assigned to classes based on the difficulty of the class.
Letter Grade | Standard | AP/Honors |
---|---|---|
A+ | 4.33 | 4.83 |
A | 4.00 | 4.50 |
A- | 3.67 | 4.17 |
B+ | 3.33 | 3.83 |
B | 3.00 | 3.50 |
C+ | 2.33 | 2.83 |
C | 2.00 | 2.50 |
C- | 1.67 | 2.17 |
D+ | 1.33 | 1.83 |

MTHS uses the Latin Honor System to recognize students for outstanding academic achievement. Academic recognition will be based on the student’s weighted GPA after the completion of 8 semesters of course work.
Students will be recognized based on the following scale:
Summa Cum Laude: 4.500 and above
Magna Cum Laude: 4.300 - 4.499
Cum Laude: 4.000 - 4.299
Any Junior or Senior may take up to a total of one elective class per semester OR one elective double period class for one semester as PASS/FAIL per year with the following stipulations:
Courses designated as required for graduation, or courses designated by any department as not available for the PASS/FAIL option may not be taken as such.
Any student taking a course PASS/FAIL must have first completed the graduation requirements for courses in that department or be concurrently enrolled in a required class.
Credit only will be awarded for a pass in this course. There will be no grade calculated in the student's grade point average (GPA) for this course. If a student takes a class Pass/Fail, and earns a D- or better, a “P” (PASS) goes on the transcript. The “P” does not affect the student’s GPA in any way. If a student takes a class Pass/Fail and earns an F, a “NC” (no credit) goes on the transcript. This NC does not affect the student’s GPA in any way.
The student is required to complete all papers/projects/tests/quizzes for this course.
Notes:
Honors Pre-Calculus CANNOT be taken as pass/fail unless it is taken as an elective senior year.
AP classes CAN be taken as PASS/FAIL.
Any Dual Credit class CAN be taken as PASS/FAIL for MTHS, but the original letter grade will be sent to ICC and appear on the ICC transcript.
Any student wishing to take a course PASS/FAIL must notify Guidance of his/her intentions within the time period noted by the Guidance Department. This must be done with the formal agreement signed by the student, parent and a Guidance Counselor. The grade will not be changed to Pass/Fail until after the end of the grading period. This will enable the parents to see the actual grade earned. This procedure must be repeated each semester a PASS/FAIL elective is chosen.
Due dates vary but typically run shortly after the semester grading period.
