E  = the student has exceeded the grade level standard(s) 
M = the student has met the grade level standard(s)
P  = the student has partially met the grade level standard(s)
D = the student did not meet the grade level standard(s)

Grades that students earn in their courses are used to calculate their overall Grade Point Average (GPA).  To calculate GPA, grades are assigned Honor Points based on a 4.00 grading scale.

Advanced Placement (AP) and concurrent enrollment courses have a high level of difficulty and earn Honor Points based on the Weighted Class Honor Points scale. All other classes earn Honor Points based on the Regular Class Honor Points scale.
