Class Rank and Weighted Class Rank
At the end of each semester during the freshman year, the sophomore year, the junior year, and finally at the end of the 7th semester in the senior year, students will be ranked scholastically, including determination of the Top 10 ranking for each class.
The final average will be used in all subjects in which units of credits are given to calculate an average. This ranking is requested by colleges, is used to determine the eligibility for membership in the National Honor Society, and is used for certain senior honors.
Final class rank for seniors will be determined at the end of the 7th semester for graduation and school recognition purposes. The valedictorian will be the student(s) with the highest grade point average as calculated at the end of seven semesters. The salutatorian will be the student(s) with the second highest grade point average as calculated at the end of seven semesters.
Unweighted and Weighted Grades
Students may earn one additional grade point for each grade and credit earned in the following: Advanced Placement (AP) courses, CAPP courses, CNA Certification, EMT Certification, PLTW courses and exams, and designated courses available for college credit at 4-year institutions or with Industry Certification Exams. The District reports student unweighted and weighted Grade Point Averages (GPA), and student weighted class rank on official transcripts.
Direct Admit Wisconsin
Direct Admit Wisconsin is a new initiative by the Universities of Wisconsin to simplify the college admissions process and increase access to higher education. This program automatically offers admission to high school seniors from participating schools based on their GPA and course credits, without requiring a traditional application. Parents can feel assured that students will be proactively matched with universities suited to their academic profiles, making the process less stressful and more accessible. Participation is optional, and students are free to accept or decline the offer, ensuring they retain full control over their educational choices. The program does not affect the availability of spots for traditional applicants and currently includes 10 of the 13 UW campuses, with hopes of expanding in the future.
