Grade Point Average

The Los Gatos High School weighted GPA includes semester grades in all courses except PE/Sports and Teacher/Office Assistant. Honors and advanced placement classes earn one extra grade point for "C-" or higher grades. Approved summer school courses required for graduation are included in the LGHS GPA.

It is the student's responsibility to send an official transcript to the Guidance Office of grades and course work taken at an institution other than Los Gatos High School. All such course work must have prior approval of the student's advisor.

Incomplete Marks

A grade of "I" (Incomplete) may be issued by an instructor at the end of the grading period whenever a student, due to severe illness or extreme extenuating circumstances, has not had sufficient time to complete course requirements. An "I" must be replaced by the instructor with a letter grade within six weeks.
Repeated Courses

Course titles and grades are NEVER removed from a student's transcript even if a course is repeated and a higher grade is earned. Credit towards graduation is earned only once even if a course is repeated. All (initial and repeated) grades are calculated in the LGHS Grage Point Average.
Course Grading Practices

Written notice of course grading requirements, practices and procedures for each course is provided to students at the beginning of the school year. Teachers may include attendance as a portion of the course grade, and all courses are subject to school policies regarding attendance and discipline.
Activity/Sports Eligibility

Students with a GPA lower than 2.0 cannot participate in athletics, school plays or other extra-curricular activities. Students must be passing a minimum of four classes in order to apply for a waiver.
