REQUIREMENTS FOR A MODIFIED CRATER HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
The Modified Diploma is a high school completion document that may be earned by students who have demonstrated an inability to meet the full set of academic content standards required for a regular high school diploma, even with reasonable modifications and accommodations. To be eligible for the Modified Diploma, a student must have a “documented history” of an inability to maintain grade level achievement due to significant learning and instructional barriers, or a documented history of a medical condition that creates a barrier to achievement. (OAR581-022- 2010(2)) (OAR 581-0222010(3)(a))
REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EXTENDED CRATER HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
The Extended Diploma is a high school completion document that may be earned by students who have demonstrated the inability to meet the full set of academic content standards required for a high school diploma or the Modified Diploma, even with reasonable modifications and accommodations. To be eligible for the Extended Diploma, a student must have a documented history of an inability to maintain grade level achievement due to significant learning and instructional barriers, or have a documented history of a medical condition that creates a barrier to achievement or have a serious illness or injury that occurs after grade eight, that changes the student’s ability to participate in grade level activities and that results in the student participating in alternate assessments. (OAR 581-022-2015(5))
Weighted Grades
A student's unweighted GPA is calculated using two factors: credits earned and the "grade points" that are awarded to letter grades (A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, D = 1 point).
Weighted grades add a "bonus" to the regular letter grade points. Only advanced Placement (AP) courses will be weighted. Grades A, B, and C earned in these classes will receive an extra grade point, which will increase the GPA that students earn in these courses: an "A" that is earned in a weighted class will yield 5 grade points (4 points for the "A" and 1 additional point as a weighed bonus), a "B" will yield 4 grade points, and a "C" will yield 3 grade points.
Examples:
Unweightd GPA Calculation Class
| Class A | Class B | Class C | Class D | |
| Letter Grade | A | B | A | C |
| AP Class? | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Grade Points | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
Weighted GPA Calculation Class
| Class A | Class B | Class C | Class D | |
| Letter Grade | A | B | A | C |
| AP Class? | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Grade Points | 5 | 3 | 4 | 3 |
The transcripts of students who graduate from Crater High School will include the weighted GPA abd class rank. A student's class rank is based on their weighted GPA. A stuent with a class rank of 43, for example, has the 43rd-highest GPA in their graduating class.
Awards & Recognition
STUDENT RECOGNITION
Students are recognized for their achievements in many ways at Crater High School. Recognition for accomplishment is one of the most important human needs. We would like every student to excel in some way and be honored in one or more of the ways listed below.
Honor Roll
Studens who achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher during any semester will have their names placed on the HONOR ROLL.
HONOR SOCIETY
The HONOR SOCIETY is a national honorary organization for sophomores, juniors and seniors who are outstanding in scholarship, citizenship and service. Membership in this society is one of the highest honors a Crater student can attain.
ROTARY STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Each month. a Crater student is selected as the Central Point Rotary Club STUDENT OF THE MONTH. This student is a guest of the Rotary Club at their weekly luncheons. Qualities necessary for selection are scholarship, leadership. service, and citizenship.
TOP FIVE PERCENT
The seniors whose GPA's rank them academically in the top five percent of their class, based upon a weighted GPA (Advanced Placement courses are weighted) are honored at an event in the Spring and also at graduation. Juniors who graduate early are not eligible for TOP FIVE PERCENT honors.
PRINCIPAL'S AWARD
The PRINCIPAL'S AWARD is awarded annually to students who have a 3.75 cumulative GPA.
HONORS NIGHT
Students who have excelled in both academic and vocational areas during the school year are honored in the Spring at HONORS NIGHT. Numerous individual faculty awards are also given during this evening event.
VALEDICTORIAN & SALUTATORIAN
Each year the senior with the highest, weighted grade point average will be selected as valedictorian. The senior with the second highest weighted GPA is selected as salutatorian. In computing the GPA, advanced placement classes will be weighted. Juniors who graduate early are not eligible for valedictorian or salutatorian honors. If CHS has more than one valedictorian, a panel will determine which valedictorian will speak at graduation.
