Our new Student Management System is affording us tremendous opportunities to analyze student achievement in different ways. After playing with the system a bit, I have discovered that we can calculate the numbers for High Honor and Honor Roll to the thousandths decimal place. The High Honor Roll has been determined in the following way. An A+ is given the value of 12, an A eleven, and A- a ten, and so on. To be on the High Honor Roll students must have all A’s and B’s, and the average must be 3.501 or higher. To be on the Honor Roll, a student must have all A’s, B’s, and C’s. When all the grades are averaged together, the student must have a 3.0 to a 3.500 average. The problem we face at this time is that what appears on the student report card may differ from the High Honor and Honor Roll list due to the recent discovery that grades can be calculated different than what we did in the past, which was to equate all A’s as a four, all B’s as a three, all C’s as a two, etc. This old way didn’t reward students for earning the higher percentages that were written as pluses on the report card. We feel this new way of calculating High Honors and Honor Roll rewards students for earning the pluses and solid grades and allows us to look at the grade averages to the nearest thousandths of a percent.
