Honors courses meet the same academic requirements as the Academic courses and provide one or more of the following: additional depth, complexity, and/or acceleration of content. Students are encouraged to take Honors courses. AP courses are registered courses with the College Board and follow the course description provided by the College Board, with the expectation that all students enrolled in the AP course take the AP exam in May. AP courses are college-level courses. Your GPA is one of many factors that colleges/universities may use as part of their admission criteria. An A in an Academic class earns you 4.33 GPA points. An A in an Honors class earns you 4.67 GPA points; whereas, an An A in an AP class earns you 5.00 GPA points.
27 Academic & Honors Most required core courses (English, science, math, history) are offered as Academic or Honors. Students are encouraged to be taking honors courses and/or AP courses in 11 th grade. GPA (grade point average) is a number that is another way of looking at your grades, taking into account the difficulty of the courses you take. At Columbia High School, your GPA can range from For example, an A in an Academic class earns you 4.33 points; whereas, an A in an Honors class earns you 4.67 points. Many colleges/universities look at the student s GPA when making admission decisions.
28 Course Offering Guide The course offering guide lists all of the courses offered at Columbia High School and provides a brief description of each course along with the grade in which the course is offered. The guide is posted on the SOMSD Website/CHS Guidance Page.

30 Understand Key Terms and Definitions for High School Academics Report Card Report cards are issued 4 times during a school year. Report cards list the courses and grades earned for each marking period. They also include the final grade earned for the course. It is important to note that only the final grade appears on the student s high school transcript. Marking Period Length of time that a grade is earned. Each marking period is 9 weeks (about 45 days). There are four marking periods in a school year. Quarter There are four quarters in the school year; PE and health courses are the only courses that are quarter courses. Semester How the school year is divided. Each school year is divided into 2 semesters. Many elective courses are semester courses. Midterm Exams & Final Exams End of the semester exams are given in English, math, science, history and world language courses. These exams each count toward 10% of the overall grade. Students should discuss the exam criteria with their teachers and start to prepare well in advance of the announced exam date.
31 Grade Scale at CHS 90% 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D Below 60% = F Grade of NC = no credit because the student exceeded the limit of absences for that class. Example of GPA for a grade of B in an English class: Academic: GPA for a B is 3.33 Honors: GPA for a B is 3.67 AP: GPA for a B is 4.0 (AP English courses are only offered in grades 11 & 12)
32 Credit Credit Value assigned to each class taken in high school. Credits are earned at the end of the course once you pass the class. Classes are either worth 1.25 credits, 2.5 credits or 5 credits. If a grade of NC is issued, the student did NOT earn the credit and the course needs to be repeated; grades of NC can cause the student to not be on track for graduation. Classes worth 1.25 credits: PE and health classes are worth 1.25 credits for each course. These courses meet for one quarter of the school year.
33 Credits Classes worth 2.5 credits: Many electives are worth 2.5 credits per course. Classes worth 2.5 credits meet for a semester (1/2 of the school year). Classes worth 5 credits: These include all English, math, science, history and world language courses in addition to many year long elective courses. These courses meet every day and are year long courses.
34 Credits In high school you need a certain number of credits to graduate: 120 credits in NJ. You earn credits by passing a class. The final grade and number of credits earned are recorded on the transcript for every course. If you fail a class, no credits are earned and you may not be on track to graduate with your class.
35 Periods in a Day There are 9 periods in the school day at CHS. Students are scheduled for 8 periods. One period is unassigned in order for students to have access to resources such as tutorials, academic labs, and time to meet with teachers. English, math, science, history, PE/health and lunch take up 6 of the 8 scheduled periods. There is room in the student s schedule for 10 credits of electives. Over the course of 4 years in high school, the electives fulfill the requirements in world languages, fine arts, practical arts and financial literacy categories.
36 Important Terms and Definitions Promotion: students are promoted to the next academic grade upon successful completion of the required course credits: Grade Credits To Graduate 120
37 Eligibility for Participation in Athletics To be eligible for high school athletics, a student must meet the following credit requirements: First Semester: All 9 th grade students are eligible; students in grades must have passed 30 credits required by the State of New Jersey for graduation during the preceding academic year. Second Semester: Students in grades 9-12 must have passed 15 credits required by the State of New Jersey for graduation at the close of the preceding semester. Full year courses will be equated as one-half of the total credits to be gained for the full year to determine credits passed during the preceding semester.
38 Important Terms and Definitions GPA Grade Point Average: All courses are unweighted unless otherwise indicated as Academic, Honors or AP. The unweighted GPA includes all courses; whereas, the weighted GPA includes only Academic, Honors and/or AP classes. A weighted GPA is a GPA that takes the difficulty of your classes into account along with your grades. Please refer to the GPA chart (Grade Point Average System, in the Course Offering Guide )to see the differences among Academic, Honors and AP values that impact GPA. GPA is a number that is another way of looking at your grades, taking into account the difficulty of the course you take (i.e., Academic, Honors or AP). GPA Scale The scale used to calculate the GPA. Honors and AP courses receive more weight on the scale than Academic courses. For example, at Columbia High School, an A in an Academic class earns you 4.33 points; whereas, an A in an Honors class earns you 4.67 points.
39 Important Terms and Definitions Transcript The student s permanent academic record. The transcript includes all high school courses (and MMS and SOMS geometry course taken in 8 th grade), final grade for the course and credits earned. The transcript is sent to colleges and employers. Unweighted & Weighted GPA The transcript also includes the academic unweighted GPA (all courses) and weighted GPA (any course that is Academic, Honors and/or AP) for each school year.
40 Attendance All absences, excused and unexcused, count toward chronic absences. A student may be denied course credit if they miss more than 10% of any course (chronic absenteeism). This means if a student missed more than 5 days in a Quarter Course, more than 9 days in a Semester Course or more than 18 days in a Year Long Course, credit may be denied. All unexcused absences count toward truancy. Students and parents/guardians can monitor attendance records in PowerSchool.
41 This is a lot of information Take time to look through the information and refer to the SOMSD Website/CHS Guidance page for additional resources.
42 SMART Goals Students and parents/guardians are encouraged to discuss the SMART Goal Planner to help the student think about longterm planning and planning a pathway in high school to prepare the student for their goals. The link to the SMART Goal Planner is on the SOMSD Website/CHS Guidance page:
43 Steps in Planning Your Program of Study: Planning Your Program of Study: Steps in Planning The program of studies which you plan will help you to enjoy a successful and meaningful high school career. It will determine how well you are prepared for college entrance or for obtaining employment or achieving other post-secondary goals. Here are the steps you should follow: 1. Establish personal goals. It is recommended that the student use the SMART Goals Planner on the CHS Guidance page: 2. Evaluate honestly your personal strengths, interests, aptitudes and needs. 3. Learn the requirements for entrance to the college or school you plan to attend, or for the kind of work you plan to do after graduation. 4. During the 11 th grade, try to visit the colleges, technical schools, or places of employment in which you are interested. 5. Consult with your parents/guardians, talk with your teachers, and confer with your school counselor to get the benefit of their experience and information. 6. Select the subjects that will contribute toward achieving your goals. 7. It is the student s responsibility to review their graduation requirements/credits and to plan accordingly to be on track for graduation. Please note that a student can only take a course once in order to receive credit for that course; it is the student s responsibility to inform their counselor and teacher immediately if they are enrolled in a class that they previously completed and passed. The only exception to this would be music courses that can be repeated for credit (e.g., choir, band, and orchestra). 8. It is the student s responsibility to meet all state assessment requirements to be on track for graduation.
