Grading and Rank
Woodstock Union High School’s GPA and RIC have been determined by averaging precise numerical grades and adding Quality Points for Honors (+5) and Advanced Placement Courses (+10). Weighted courses are denoted on the transcript as Level I (AP), Level II (H) and Level III (CP). GPA and Rank are weighted and rank is precise and not shared. Our ranking system includes all the arts, technologies, and electives.

Grade Standard
90-100 . . . . A . . . . . Exceptional Quality
80-89 . . . . . B. . . . . . Good Quality
70-79 . . . . . C . . . . . Acceptable Quality
60-69 . . . . . D . . . . . Minimum Level for Credit
0-59 . . . . . . F. . . . . . Not Yet Competent, Not Acceptable

Occasionally, faculty and students may seek opportunities for independent study which may award credit but not bear an evaluation. Courses taken at area colleges, by correspondence with accredited colleges and universities, or are part of a foreign exchange program pre-approved by the Principal do not carry weight and are not included in the rank. Community service projects are similarly reported. The Pass acknowledgment (P) on a transcript does not reflect a minimum performance level. Often the indicator reflects personal and academic initiative or community service which is extraordinary.
