Grade point average is a calculated average based on grades and credit earned per class. The grade points earned by the letter grade in each class are multiplied by the credit value of the same class. The point values from each class are then added together and divided by the total number of credits. The resulting number (a value between 0.0-4.0) is the student’s GPA. Since AP® classes are college-level courses, they use the weighted GPA scale (1.0-5.0). Pass or fail classes are not calculated in GPA. You can use a GPA calculator here to make estimates of your GPA. CRICS does not calculate class ranking.
-Weighted GPA
Advance Placement (AP) courses can earn up to 5.0 grade points if the student completes the course and takes the AP test. A GPA affected by AP scoring is referred to as a weighted GPA. If a student's GPA is calculated without the influence of AP grade points, it is referred to as an unweighted GPA.

Honor Roll is determined at the end of each quarter based on a student’s GPA for that quarter. This is documented on the report card and is part of the student’s academic transcript.

CRICS offers Advanced Placement® (AP) courses when teaching staff are available and willing. “AP gives students the chance to tackle college-level work while they’re still in high school and earn college credit and placement” (copied from http://ap.collegeboard.org). As may be expected of college-level courses, the time needed for assignments, studying, and deep understanding will exceed the CRICS homework policy. By choosing to enroll in an AP course at CRICS, parents and students recognize this need and agree to devote the necessary time to these higher-level courses.

Students are not required to take an AP exam at the end of the year, although it is highly recommended. Students may not repeat an AP course.
Each AP course has its own prerequisite(s) in an effort to ensure that students can be successful in the course. In addition to the course-specific requirements, all AP courses are contingent upon teacher recommendation.
