Ranking of students based on final marks is used in three different ways. They are: high honors and honors, ranking for post-secondary applications and scholarships and ranking for the Governor General’s Award.

The honours and high honours standing is an average of the marks earned in all courses taken in a semester. Honours is from 80% - 89.9%. High Honours is 90% and over.

The post secondary ranking is used to determine the rank of the students who are eligible to apply to Universities. Current Grade 11 students and all subsequent potential graduates will be ranked based on their marks in all courses that could be used for entrance to UNB taken in Grade 11 and the first semester of Grade 12. Enriched level one classes in which a student has 85% or greater will result in 0.33 of one per-cent being added to the students’ average. Although all students are given a rank in relation to their graduating class, it is approximately the top ten students for whom this is most important.

Each University does their own ranking for scholarship purposes but they do want to know who our top students are.

The Governor General’s Award will be determined by the students’ average on all courses taken in Grade 11 and 12.
