Honor Roll Calculator
Determine if a student qualifies for the honor roll based on their GPA and school thresholds.
Understanding the Concept
Honor roll eligibility is based on a student's GPA compared to school thresholds:
- Principal’s List: GPA ≥ 4.0
- High Honor Roll: GPA ≥ 3.75
- Honor Roll: GPA ≥ 3.5
GPA is calculated as:
GPA = \(\frac{\text{Total Grade Points Earned}}{\text{Total Number of Courses}}\)
Example Calculation
Student’s grades for the semester:
| Course | Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|
| English | A | 4.0 |
| Math | B | 3.0 |
| Science | A | 4.0 |
| History | A | 4.0 |
| PE | B | 3.0 |
Total Grade Points = 4.0+3.0+4.0+4.0+3.0 = 18.0
GPA = 18.0 / 5 = 3.6
Comparison with Honor Roll thresholds:
Principal’s List: 4.0 → Not qualified
High Honor Roll: 3.75 → Not qualified
Honor Roll: 3.5 → Qualified ✅
