Class Rank
Rank in Class is one of the chief factors considered for college admission. For purpose of calculating Rank in Class, final averages for all courses attempted, including summer school courses, are assigned the following grade point values on a 4.5 point scale:
Course levels of difficulty are assigned the following multiplication factors:
| | Percentage Range | Rank |
| | 97-100% | 4.50 |
| | 95-96% | 4.25 |
| | 93-94% | 4.00 |
| | 91-92% | 3.75 |
| | 89-90% | 3.50 |
| | 87-88% | 3.25 |
| | 85-86% | 3.00 |
| | 83-84% | 2.75 |
| | Percentage Range | Rank |
| | 81-82% | 2.50 |
| | 79-80% | 2.25 |
| | 77-78% | 2.00 |
| | 75-76% | 1.75 |
| | 73-74% | 1.50 |
| | 71-72% | 1.25 |
| | 70 % | 1.00 |
| | 69 % or below | 0.00 |
| | Course level multiplication factor | GPA |
| | HP level courses | 3.5 |
| | ACP level courses | 2.5 |
| | CP level courses |
2.0 |
| | IND level courses | 1.0 |
| | Physical Education | 1.0 |
To calculate Rank in Class, the grade point value of each course attempted is multiplied by the course level multiplication factor, and then multiplied by the number of credits for that course. These products are totaled and then divided by the total number of credits attempted.To be eligible for the distinctions of valedictorian and salutatorian, a senior must have been a student at La Salle for all 16 quarters of his four high school years. Final class rank for seniors is only determined after the senior year has been totally completed. However, the valedictorian and salutatorian ranking will be determined based upon all previously completed courses and the year-to-date averages at the end of the third quarter for all senior year courses currently in progress as though those courses had fully concluded as of that time.
