The Student Academic Performance Record is for submitting graduation student performance data for schools in your district. Collect graduation GPA, weighted graduation GPA, and class rank for all students (including foreign exchange students, etc.) who you are reporting in MARSS as graduating from your district at any time during the current school year. As required by MARSS, graduating students may be in either grade 11 or grade 12. Schools that do not report graduate records in MARSS (such as an elementary school) should not submit Student Academic Performance records.
The following business rules are used:
- If a student has an enrollment in Grade 11 or 12 and has an End Status = 08: Graduated from High School and has a Diploma Date = NOT NULL, the student will be reported.
GPA (graduation GPA, weighted graduation GPA) and class rank values should be entered and verified prior to generating this extract.
Any student that is reported in MARSS should also be included in this extract. Schools that do not report graduate records in MARSS (elementary schools) are not required to submit this extract.
The following fields are required entry for inclusion in the Student Academic Performance Record.
Graduation Diploma Date

Enrollments Grade and End Status
State Grade Code must be populated in the Grade Levels editor in System Administration for proper functionality.
High School Credit
The High School Credit checkbox is found in two places in the user interface - the Course editor and the Transcript editor. This selection is necessary in order to calculate correct GPA values and class ranks.
Course Editor
The High School Record checkbox on the course editor is selected to determine a course that will be included in the GPA and class rank calculations. When grades are posted to a student's transcript, the High School Credit checkbox on the transcript editor will be selected or unselected automatically dependent upon the course posted. Once posted, the High School Credit checkbox on the Transcript editor can be edited to allow any necessary corrections to be made.

Calculation of Weighted/Unweighted GPA and Class Rank/Size
The following table provides definitions of how values are determined for GPA and Class Rank.
Term | Definition |
|---|---|
GPA Score | Calculated using GPA Weight, GPA Value, and Unweighted GPA Value. The Unweighted GPA Value will trump the GPA Value field when calculating. If Unweighted GPA Value is NULL, the GPA Value will be used. |
GPA Scale | Calculated using the field GPA Max. The maximum value found throughout the included transcript records will be reported. Records with an Unweighted GPA Value = NOT NULL will be initially included. If no record is found to have a Unweighted GPA Value = NOT NULL, the maximum GPA Max from any included record will report. |
Weighted GPA Score | Calculated using GPA Weight and GPA Value. Unlike GPA Score, only the GPA Value is included in the calculation of this field. |
Weighted GPA Scale | Calculated using using GPA Weight and GPA Value. This element will report the maximum GPA Max from any included transcript record with Unweighted GPA Value = NULL. |
Class Rank | Will report based off Weighted GPA Score. If no Weighted GPA Score is found, the calculation will use GPA Score. The following exceptions may occur:* If 'Do Not Include Weighted GPAs in Rank' is selected, the Weighted GPA Score will not be included in the calculation (System Administration > Resources > School).* If 'Class Rank Exclude' is selected, the student will not be included in the calculation (Student Information > General > Enrollments > Class Rank Exclude). |
Class Size | Will report the total number of students with a reported GPA Score or Weighted GPA Score that is greater than zero (0). The following exceptions may occur:
