Grading Scale and Class Rank

Seattle Public Schools (SPS) does not weight transcript grades or GPAs. As of Fall 2020 our school does not rank students. We believe students should be competitive with themselves and not with others. Grades are awarded as shown below. Please note: starting with the 2019-2020 school year, district policy only allows pass/no pass grading for credit earned from on-line or other independent providers while enrolled at Ingraham.

Grade	Percent

Addendum

Ingraham High School is one of three schools in Seattle, Washington, that offers the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. Moreover, it is one of very few schools in the world to offer an accelerated IB Program for identified highly capable students. Ingraham was approved to offer the IB Program in 2003 with our first cohort graduating in 2005. The highly capable pathway was established in 2011 with the first cohort earning their IB diplomas as juniors in May 2014 and graduating from Ingraham as seniors in June 2015.

Students in the IB Diploma Program must complete:

IB classes and exams in 6 IB subject areas,
4000-word extended essay,
Theory of Knowledge course, and
Service learning over two years that includes creativity and activity along with service.

At Ingraham, most 9th and 10th grade students seeking an IB diploma will add honors assignments and activities in preparation for entering the IB Diploma Program in 11th grade. It is the students’ choice to pursue honors based on their interest, academic record and staff recommendations. For all students, including highly capable students, mathematics and world language level placements are determined by each student’s previous course work and progress at middle school.

Beginning in 11th grade, students enroll in three higher level IB courses which are taught over both years of the program. The remaining three IB courses are standard level which for most subjects can be completed in one year. All Ingraham IB diploma candidates take English and history at the higher level. Students completing all the requirements and earning the requisite number of points on their IB exams are awarded the IB Diploma at the end of their senior year.

Early Entry to IB Program for Highly Capable Students in Grades 10 & 11

An early entry to the IB Program is an option for highly capable (HC) students identified by the Seattle Public Schools. In Seattle this option is only offered at Ingraham High School. Students are identified as highly capable having achieved scores of 98% or better on standard national achievement and cognitive ability tests during elementary or middle school.

HC sophomores can only enter the diploma program if they are at levels of math and world languages that allow them to complete the diploma in grades 10 and 11. Early entry candidates will have classes with all other IB students and will meet the same requirements for the IB diploma. HC students that complete the diploma program this year as juniors are then eligible to graduate, having met Washington State graduation requirements. They may also return to Ingraham for a senior year, graduating in June 2025.

During the senior year these students can take additional IB or AP courses, enroll in North Seattle College courses, continue with music ensembles and theater or other courses of personal interest. They can also study abroad and return in time for graduation.

For further information on the specifics of the Ingraham IB Diploma Program, please contact IB Diploma Program Coordinators Laura Turner (laturner@seattleschools.org) or Angela Peck (alpeck@seattleschools.org).
