Additionally, all Pennsylvania public school students must fulfill the requirements of Act 158. Listed below are the details of both sets of requirements.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS - Graduation requirements are for subjects taken in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12. Wyomissing Area Jr./Sr. High students need 23 total credits to graduate. Courses taken in seventh and eighth grade do not accrue credit toward graduation. Beginning with the class of 2023, students must also take and pass end of course Keystone Exams in Biology, Algebra 1, and English Literature to fulfill their graduation requirements. 

ACT 158 REQUIREMENTS - Please utilize the Pennsylvania Department of Education website to view the current requirements for Act 158.

All teaching staff is available for additional academic support from 2:35PM to 3:05PM. Students are encouraged to make arrangements to meet with their teacher, based on their availability, to receive instructional assistance. Transportation is available for students who normally utilize school bus transportation.

Please contact your student's school counselor if you feel as though your student needs a higher level of tutoring support.

GRADING SCALE - Quarter grades in courses are earned according to the following scale:

Percentage Range    Letter Grade 
 90% - 100%     A
 80% - 89%     B
 70% - 79%     C
 60% - 69%     D
 59% and below     F

The following courses are graded on an Outstanding, Satisfactory, or Unsatisfactory (O, S, or U) rating:
7th grade Advisory 
7th and 8th grade Physical Education
Colloquium
FINAL GRADE IN A COURSE - Wyomissing Area Junior-Senior High School assigns higher weight to each succeeding marking period and semester exam as the school year unfolds; i.e., the second quarter is weighted more than the first quarter, the 3rd quarter, more than the 2nd, and the 4th, more than the 3rd.

GPA & CLASS RANK - Unweighted GPA reflects the combined calculation of the final grades earned in all completed courses, regardless of course level.

Weighted GPA reflects the unweighted GPA plus the weight earned for honors and/or AP courses. AP courses receive a weighting of 0.25 if the final grade of A, B, or C is earned. Full year Honors courses receive a weighting of 0.2 if the final grade of an A or B is earned.

Class rank is a student's cumulative class standing based on weighted GPA from the end of 9th grade through 12th grade. Rank is computed at the end of each year and at mid-year for seniors to determine valedictorian and salutatorian. 

REPORT CARDS - Families are encouraged to access and check PowerSchool on a regular basis to monitor academics. Students will receive their report cards in school with the expectation that they will take the responsibility of presenting them to their parents or guardians. Parents, therefore, need to make note of issue dates so that they can anticipate receiving this information from their child. See school calendar for dates for the end of quarters 1, 2, and 3. Final report cards will be mailed in June.
