How to read your transcript:
Your transcript is a legal document that should be reviewed at least once a year for accuracy. You will need to make sure your grades, classes, and tests you took are displayed and correct. You will also need to make sure things like your name and address are also correct.
All students have a 4-5 page transcript. If your transcript is only four pages, it means you don't have enough high school level academic history to create a second page after the first.
Page One-Two
At the top of page one, you will find your demographic information. Please review this on at least a yearly basis to ensure its accuracy. If you find any errors, please contact the registrar, Ms. Tia Lally, located in the front office.
The rest of page one lists your course information. It is displayed in two columns, like a newspaper. If you began earning credits in middle school, they will be on the top left of the page, followed by high school credits. Each section is a school year and lists the courses you took, the grades you earned, and whether or not you earned credit for the class. Credit earned at different schools, or on virtual school, will be their own section.
The bottom of the first page has your current classes and any report card grades earned during the school year. Page two, if you have it, is similar to page one in that your currently enrolled classes may spill onto it if they can't fit at the bottom of the first page.
Page three (or page two if you only have four pages total) has lots of important information on it. The starred box on the top left is a tally of the credits you need to earn to graduate and the ones you have earned/completed already. At the bottom of the box is your GPA. "State GPA" is your unweighted GPA, and "District GPA" is your weighted GPA. You need above a 2.0 unweighted GPA to graduate.
Page Three
The top right section will have your class rank, your assessments needed for graduation that you have passed, whether you've completed your online course requirement, and any community service hours we have on record for you.
The bottom of the third page explains to colleges and institutions how to read your transcript and our grading scale.
Page Four
Page four is more information for colleges, etc on how to read our transcripts.
Page Five
Page five contains your testing information. Any and all standardized tests you've taken in high school that we have record for are listed here. This includes, but is not limited to, the FSA, certain EOCs, AP exams, PERT, SAT, and ACT. The first column lists what grade you were in when you took the test, then the test date, followed by the test name and then the scoring information. If you have any questions about this information, please ask your counselor.
