GPA
GPA is the unified way that high schools represent a student's grades with a single number. The calculation considers all grades (generally by semester) from 9th to 12th grade, assigning the grade a numerical value and averaging all values.

The major test used in college admissions. It can be used to fulfill math and english requirements for graduation. Usually, schools offer 2 free SATs for students. Students can take additional SATs for $68 each.
This test has a score range of 400-1600 composed by two sections:
- Math (200-800)
- Reading & Writing (200-800)
The ACT is an alternative to this test. It is faster-paced and includes science and reading sections.
These test a student's english proficiency.
To graduate high school, students must pass a valid (end of the year) FAST test. While this standard is not achieved, students will be placed in Intensive Reading (1-4).
