Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA do you need for Honor Roll?
Most high schools require a minimum GPA of 3.0 (a solid 'B' average) to make the standard Honor Roll. However, this varies by school district.
What is High Honor Roll?
High Honor Roll is a higher tier of recognition, typically requiring a GPA between 3.5 and 3.79 (mostly A's with a few B's).
What is the Principal's List or Highest Honors?
The Principal's List (sometimes called Superintendent's List or Highest Honors) is the top tier, usually requiring a 3.8 to 4.0+ GPA. At many schools, it requires straight A's with no B's allowed.
Does Honor Roll use weighted or unweighted GPA?
This depends entirely on your high school's specific policy. Many schools use weighted GPAs to reward students taking rigorous AP or Honors courses, making it easier for them to hit the 3.8+ threshold. Others strictly use unweighted grades.
