Grading Scale

Mattawan High School follows the traditional grading scale in which an A is equivalent to a 4.0, an A- is equivalent to a 3.5, a B is equivalent to a 3.0, etc. The school also offers Honors Points earned from Honors and AP classes (these add 1.0 to the grade that a student receives in the Honors or AP Class). Each student's grades are reported at the end of each semester. The individual grades for each class are averaged to form semester grades; both semester grades are again averaged to form the student's final GPA.

All courses are considered when determining rank and grade point.
