South Glens Falls High School is a public school located on the southeastern edge of the Adirondack Mountains. The city of Glens Falls and its adjacent communities support a population of approximately 100,000 people with an economic base centered on the paper industry. The school district is suburban to rural, encompasses 70 square miles and serves a population of approximately 18,000. The high school consists of more than 900 students in grades nine through 12.

South Glens Falls high school uses transcripts that allow for communication of student performance with both an unweighted and a weighted grade point average (GPA). SGF recognizes courses that culminate in the potential for college credit (e.g. Advanced Placement, SUPA, PLTW, ECHS, etc. ) with a “weighting factor” of 2. South Glens Falls Central School District utilizes the Latin Honors System (i.e. Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, Cum Laude) to recognize students for their academic excellence. The overall GPA designations for these honors align with our existing academic recognition benchmarks. Any student who has reached the required high school GPA (calculated at the end of the third quarter of senior year) will be recognized at graduation. These levels are as follows:

• Summa Cum Laude: 95 to 100
