2 GRADING Class rank: The School has a highly transient student population. Some students remain for only one or two years, which does not allow for the compilation of a meaningful class rank based on GPA. Therefore we do not rank. Grading system: Students are graded on a scale of 7, and all grades are unweighted. GPA calculations are based solely on grades earned at our school and do not include Physical and Health Education, and non-ib Art, Theatre, Music, Design Technology and the year 11 Personal Project. The minimum passing grade is 3. In the MYP (Grades 9 11) half grades are not used and rounding is down, not up.
