Students will continue to earn 0.5 weighted credit in honors level classes and 1.0 weighted credit in advanced college level classes (AP and Dual Enrollment). Much of the research on grade scales is inconclusive on the matter of whether a particular scale helps or harms students. However, research does indicate that adding points to a student's grade point average can make a difference in decisions about scholarships and admission to some colleges and, in particular, to certain honors programs at the college level.
