[Slumber Parties by Kelly]

My 10th grader got a 94 in Honors Biology and a 85 in Honors History.

He said they add 5 points to his grade. Is that correct. We were trying to compute his GPA and were not certain if they add they 5 points and then compute, or compute without the extra 5.

He was so excited. He got all A's except the 85 which after you add the 5 will be a 90.


thanks

His report card should come in a few days.

Thats great...good news...a piece of advice....on the co-op program with Kennesaw....this system does not upgrade a college course....so just stay with the highest classes you can in high school.

He WILL get a 5 pt bump in his grade for the honors course. It will appear on his transcript.

They will compute two GPAs. One will be "weighted" which included the additional 5 points for Honors classes. The other one will be "non-weighted" and will not include the additional 5 points for Honors classes. The "non-weighted" GPA is what is used to figure HOPE eligibility.

the 5 points will show on the transcript but not the actual report card- and some colleges don't recognize the bump in points.

Hiram "hides" the points. It will appear as your student received a "90" or whatever the case is when a college sees it.
And as far as co-op, or joint enrollment, it is far worth the advantage. You come out on top in the end. You can complete up to two years, and if you are a diligent student, you will still make the grades to come out on top of your class. To graduate with REAL college is experience appeals more to a college a 90 in an honors class in Paulding County or to take an AP exam, which many universities will not accept.
