LISD GPA Policy:

At the Dec. 17, 2020 Leander ISD Board of Trustees meeting, Board members approved

changes to the method used to calculate weighted GPA and the reporting of class rank

beginning with the class of 2025. The intent of the change is to allow students to select courses

and pathways of study based on their individual interests and personal pathways of study.

The complete GPA policy can be found at Board Policy EIC (Local).

Weighted GPA

A student’s weighted GPA will be used to calculate class rank. Courses included in the

calculation of the weighted GPA will be from the following areas:

1. Up to eight semesters in English/language arts;

2. Up to eight semesters in mathematics;

3. Up to eight semesters in science;

4. Up to eight semesters in social studies; and

5. Up to four semesters in languages other than English (LOTE).

If a student completes more than the number of semesters listed within the five categories

specified above, the student’s weighted GPA used for class rank shall be calculated using the

student’s grades within each category with the highest grade point value.
