1. Villa Rica High School AP / Honors Night
Welcome
Villa Rica High School AP / Honors Night

2. GPA and weighting
AP classes are given 1 point extra on the student’s GPA. (Dual enrollment classes are weighted as well) Honors classes are not weighted. This weighting is used to help these students remain competitive for Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and Honor Graduate. This status is also reflected in class rank.

3. HOPE Calculations
“The GSFC will add 0.5 points to all grades reported for AP and Baccalaureate courses.” (hope_scholarship.net, 2015)
The school weighting will be removed before this is added. This is done to standardize student GPAs across the state.

4. HOPE Rigor requirement
Honors and AP courses
Class of 2016 must have 3 rigor classes
Class of must have 4 rigor classes
