• UC approved Honors, AP, IB, Dual Enrollment (DE) and Concurrent Enrollment (CE) courses receive a weighted point augmentation. Please see chart below.

 

Please Note: The LAUSD class rank is calculated based on the LAUSD Grade Point Average (GPA) and to have an LAUSD Official GPA and Rank, students must have attempted a minimum of 90 credits in LAUSD schools, where at least 20 credits are in the Fall semester of 12th grade.

The class size for the official rank is based on the number of seniors who have a valid LAUSD Official GPA. Not all seniors will qualify for an LAUSD Official GPA, therefore, the official rank class size will not necessarily be the same as the total number of seniors.
