GPA and Rank in Class
Class of 2016 AP Course Enrollment
Due to the nature of our school and its relatively small class sizes, ASIJ
does not provide the specific rank of its students.
The cumulative GPA of ASIJ students reflects courses taken at ASIJ
only. Grades from previous schools are not included. The numerical
equivalents used in determining GPA follow NASSP (National
Association of Secondary School Principals) guidelines. AP and Honors
courses are marked (H) on ASIJ transcripts and receive an additional
weighting of 0.5 when students achieve a grade of C– or higher.
A+/A = 4.00
B+ = 3.33
C+ = 2.33 D+ = 1.33
A– = 3.67
