Weighted Grading System

The Enfield Public Schools use a weighted grading system so that individual courses receive weight commensurate with academic rigor. In the three-level system, AP/ECE courses are the most rigorous and receive the greatest weight. Honors courses are more academically challenging than those at College/Career Prep, which are average in their academic demands. Please refer to the chart below for the quality points assigned to letter grades by course level. These points are used to calculate grade point average.
