GENERAL INFORMATION: Class Placement Sophomore Status: 5 credits and enrolled in English 210/211/212(H) Junior Status: 10 credits and enrolled in English 310/311/312(H) Senior Status: 15 credits and enrolled in English 410/411/413(AP-H) Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, Art and Music. These could give the student college credit or allow the student to take higher level courses in college. The AP tests are given on a predetermined date in May. The sole determiner of the amount of college credit granted to a student is the college or university to which a student wishes his/her results sent. In an AP class, the teacher serves as discussion leader, critic, and scholar, helping the members of the class assume much of the responsibility for their own learning. Outside the class, the teacher confers with students to assist them with their reading, writing, and rewriting. Students who are highly motivated to give extra time in study and preparation will make excellent candidates for AP classes. Students wishing to take AP courses should check with their academic teachers or department chairpersons. Daily Class Load Freshman, sophomore, and junior students are required to carry at least six (6) courses each semester with one regular study hall each day each semester. Seniors can have a maximum of two study halls per semester, or one study hall with either late arrival or early dismissal. Athletic and School Activity Eligibility Eligibility for each grading period is determined by grades received the preceding quarter grading period. Summer school classes, semester average and yearly average have no affect on eligibility. The Ohio High School Athletic Association eligibility rule states that during the preceding grading period, the student must have received passing grades in a minimum of five one-credit courses or the equivalent which count toward graduation. Moreover, during the preceding term, PHS students must obtain a 1.5 GPA or passing all classes to be eligible for athletics and school activities. More information concerning scholarships, age limitations, non-interscholastic competition, sport camps, etc. may be secured from the Athletic Director. Semester Credit Courses at Perrysburg High School are on a semester basis. If a student passes one semester of a core course and fails the other semester, he/she will receive credit for the semester he/she passes, but must complete the other semester before going to the next level if it is a prerequisite. Grade Point Average The accumulative GPA is maintained for each student for grades 9-12. The GPA is updated each semester and is figured using the numeric value of the grade earned that semester on the modified 4.0 grading scale. The numeric value is multiplied by the credit to arrive at the quality points for each course. The total quality points are divided by the total credits attempted to arrive at the GPA. Grade PHS Grading Scale Regular Honors Quality Quality Points Points AP Quality Points A 4.0 4.5 5.0 A- 3.7 4.2 4.7 B+ 3.3 3.8 4.3 B 3.0 3.5 4.0 B- 2.7 3.2 3.7 C+ 2.3 2.8 3.3 C 2.0 2.5 3.0 C- 1.7 2.2 2.7 D+ 1.3 1.3 1.3 D 1.0 1.0 1.0 D- 0.7 0.7 0.7 F 0.0 0.0 0.0 PHS RANKING Perrysburg High School does not rank students in a particular graduating class from the student with the highest gpa in the class to the lowest gpa in the class.

A student may take courses from any institution to which they are admitted, however, PHS plans to maintain agreements with Bowling Green State University, The University of Toledo, Lourdes University, and Owens Community College. Any student admitted to an institution of higher education will be expected and required to perform at the same level as the institution s regular students. High schools continue to be responsible for providing a comprehensive and challenging college preparatory curriculum, including advanced placement and other advanced level courses, for their students. College courses should either contribute to or supplement the broad academic preparation needed by high school students. Credit for highly specialized content college courses generally should not substitute for important broader content college preparatory courses. Through CCP the student will earn both college and high school credit, in which case the student s attendance will be subsidized by direct payments to the college out of the school district s state foundation funds covering the cost of tuition, fees, and books. The student and parent may be liable for all costs incurred by the district when and if a student fails to complete a college course. Parents and students must meet/talk with the school counselor prior to participation. The CCP program requires that students indicate to school officials their intent to participate by March 30. Failure to do so will make them ineligible to participate without the permission of the district superintendent. Intent forms are available through the school counselor and at the CCP information meeting traditionally conducted in February. All courses taken through CCP will result in a letter grade from the school system. The letter grade will be used in the computation of the student s grade point average. ON-LINE COURSES Lincoln Interactive These courses are offered as on-line elective credits. Students will only be permitted to take one course per semester. Fees may be required. Students that fail to successfully complete each on-line course will be assessed a fee equal to the cost of the course (approximately $240). Students must be good at the following skills: organization; follow instruction and work independently; resourceful; and able to keep track of deadlines and complete tasks in the time frame allotted. 25
