Classes to carry weight

The Cedar Grove-Belgium School Board this month unanimously approved a proposal to switch to a weighted grading system at the high school per the request of Principal Josh Ketterhagen.

Grades will be on a five-point scale starting with the Class of 2024. The weighted classes include dual credit, Advanced Placement and those in Cooperative Academic Partnership Program (CAPP).

In those classes, an A will receive a 5.0, an A- 4.67, an A/B 4.5, a B+ 4.33 and a B 4.0.
