GRADING SCALE:  Texoma Christian School employs the following 4 point grading scale:

Percentage       Letter Grade      GPA points

90-100 %                  A                         4.0

80-89 %                    B                         3.0

70-79 %                    C                         2.0

69 & below               F                         0.0

GRADE POINT AVERAGE:  The grade point average is a four-point system based upon the national standard as defined and calculated by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), as defined above.  All high school coursework is included in the GPA calculation.  In addition,  Honors (H) classes earn an additional 0.5 GPA points, and courses classified as Dual Credit (DC*) earn 1.0 additional GPA points.  These extra points are included only in weighted GPA and class rank calculations.  

NON-RANKING POLICY:  It is our Policy to rank numerically only the top ten percent of students and not to rank the remainder of the class, due to small class size (SENIOR CLASS of 2023 SIZE:  14).  Rank, when provided is calculated based on weighted grades. 

COURSE CREDIT:  Course credit is determined by successful completion of all coursework.  One full credit is awarded for successful completion of a class that normally meets no less than 200 minutes per week for two full semesters.  One half credit is awarded for successful completion of one semester of a full credit course and of single-semester courses.
