Westfield High School uses a weighted GPA scale of 5.5 plus. This means that a student that takes honors or AP classes will earn more grade points depending on their grade.

For example, a student that is in US History that makes a 92 earns 4.2 grade points, but if they were in US History Honors and earned a 92 they would earn 5.2 points. If a student was in US History AP and earned a 92 they would earn 5.4 points.

Senior class ranking is determined after the Fall Semester. Ranking will not be available to students until after the Honors Ceremony which is normally held February.

An honor student is one whose rank places him in the top 15 percent of the senior class. The top 5 percent graduate Magna Cum Laude, the next 10 percent graduate Cum Laude. The Valedictorian has the highest rank and the Salutatorian has the second highest rank. These two students graduate Summa Cum Laude.
