The state gives some autonomy to districts in some areas. One of those areas is the grading scale for the CTE GPA that is calculated for each student on a CTE pathway. This page will allow you to determine how high school courses that are taken before 9th grade will be handled and what the grading scale will be for the GPA’s that are calculated for CTE concentrators.

Changes made on this page can be applied to any of the current grade levels in the system. All grade levels should be selected if the change is to be made to all cohorts. Various grade level changes can be viewed by clicking the links at the top of the page.

Academic and Technical Honors Cutoff

The school can decide whether a C or C- is used as the cutoff for courses counted toward Academic Honors or Technical Honors Diplomas.

8th Grade Credits

1. If your school counts 8th grade courses directly toward high school credit, select the first option.

2. If your school replicates 8th grade courses in the 9th grade year in order to count them toward high school credit, select the third option.

CTE Grade Equivalents

The primary GPA for the student is pulled in from the SIS or is imported into the system manually. However, the CTE GPA is one of a couple places where Pathways calculates the GPA for you. The grade equivalents set in this area will determine the CTE GPA that is displayed on the student Pathways worksheet.
