the administration shall make an effort to have the student receive a diploma from the school last attended . In any case , students in this category may participate in Enfield graduation ceremonies .

These approved courses may be added to the student ’ s official school transcript and applied toward fulfilling graduation requirements .

Grade Point Average ( GPA ) and Class Rank
The grade point average is based on the final grade earned in each course . The grade point average is cumulative and is calculated at the end of each semester from Grades 9 through 12 . Pass / fail courses are not included in the calculation .
The class rank is determined by the relative position of each grade point average in a graduating class from Grades 9 through 12 . Rank in class for all students is computed by compiling grades on a cumulative basis over the period of time from grade 9 thru 2 nd term of the senior year . This compilation of grades is based on the quality point system used to designate honor roll and honor graduates . The quality average is compiled , and each student is then listed in mathematical order . It should be emphasized that rank in class is a cumulative compilation of grade averages including physical education and health but not pass-fail courses .
Weighted Grading System
The Enfield Public Schools use a weighted grading system so that individual courses receive weight commensurate with academic rigor . In the three-level system , AP / ECE courses are the most rigorous and receive the greatest weight . Honors courses are more academically challenging than those at College / Career Prep , which are average in their academic demands . Please refer to the chart below for the quality points assigned to letter grades by course level . These points are used to calculate grade point average .
