The Laude System is used as Hortonville High School's recognition of graduates for both high academic standing and rigorous course selections, and consists of three levels of recognition:
- Summa Cum Laude (With highest honor/distinction): Laude Score of 152 and above
- Magna Cum Laude (With great honor/distinction): Laude Score of 128 - 150.5
- Cum Laude (With honor/distinction): Laude Score of 80 – 125.9
Class rank will be determined by the Laude calculation when needed for external purposes (i.e., scholarship requests). Class GPA shall be maintained starting with the first semester of ninth grade and continuing through the 12th grade.
Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4 to qualify for Laude recognition, and must be full-time students. Final grades for the quarter and/or semester shall be used to calculate grade point average (GPA) for Laude calculation and recognition. Only high school level academic subjects approved by the Board, or its designee, shall be included in computing grades. Official Laude calculation will be completed after spring semester grades are earned during their senior year.
