San Antonio Districts Grade GPAs Differently, New Texas Law Could Force a Fix

San Antonio's school districts don't agree on how to calculate a student's grade point average, and the gap matters: Northside ISD scores AP courses on an eight-point scale while docking dual-credit and honors classes to five points, North East ISD uses a 1.15 multiplier for AP versus 1.08 for dual credit, and Alamo Heights ISD runs its own separate formula entirely. A new Texas rule aims to erase those differences. Separately, Alamo Heights ISD's grading controversy stemmed from inconsistencies in grading documents and communication about a district policy change.

Two Hometown Kids Built Medina Valley's $264M Second High School

A steep, 90-foot drop in elevation and soil that shifts under pressure might have stopped a lesser project. Instead, it became the defining engineering puzzle behind Creek View High School, the new campus that made Medina Valley Independent School District a two-high-school system this year. The school opened in August 2026 with students in grades nine through 11, giving the fast-growing district west of San Antonio its second comprehensive high school.

High school class rank policies are different in every San Antonio district. A new state law could change that.

The way San Antonio high schools calculate grade-point average — determining how graduating seniors measure up against one another — changes from district to district. In fact, almost no GPA policy is exactly the same across Texas. Some policies use multipliers, others use eight-point scales, others four-point scales. Districts also assign different weights to different courses, using their own judgment of how rigorous classes are.
