D+ = 67-69
D = 64-66
D- = 60-63
E = 55-59
F = below 55
(Below 60 is failing)

Special Curriculum Feature
A forty (40) hour community service program which is required of students was
established to reflect the school’s philosophy that, along with stimulating the
student’s intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development, the school
also has an obligation to provide the student with the opportunity to
experience the joy and fulfillment of giving and serving others. It is the
primary goal of this program that each student participant comes to a deeper
understanding and appreciation of themselves, and the potential for personal
achievement and growth through service to others.
Grade Point Average and Class Rank
The grade point average (GPA) is calculated at the end of the semester when the
grade point values are assigned to the final marks for semester courses, and at
the end of the year when final marks for full year courses are assigned. Class
Rank is determined based upon the GPA of the student in a particular grade
level. The class rank is calculated after the end of the semester and at the
end of the year.
Graduates
Over a number of years the average percent of students going on to college has
been about 90%, with about 70% going on to four-year colleges or universities
and about 20% going on to two-year colleges and technical school. Each year a
few students select military service or union training and some go directly
into the workforce. Recent graduates have attended colleges including Boston
College, Boston University, Curry College, Emmanuel College, Fordham
University, Framingham State College, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy,
Merrimack College, Northeastern University, Salem State College, Suffolk
University and The University of Massachusetts Amherst and Boston.
