Grading System

AISD is a Standards Based Grading school . Grades ref lect student understanding and mastery of skills acquired in each course using an A-NY scale. Grades are converted to a 4 point scale to obtain an overall average grade (i.e. GPA or Grade Point Average).

GPAs are based only upon grades earned at AISD. The GPA is obtained by adding the point values of all letter grades, and dividing the sum by the number of credits earned.

Students are not ranked and no class receives additional weight.
