Texas SB1191 mandates the development of a standard method for calculating high school grade point averages.

Texas SB1191 amends the Education Code to require the commissioner of education to create a standard method for computing a student's high school grade point average. This method must assign additional weight to honors courses, advanced placement courses, international baccalaureate courses, and dual credit courses, with equal weight given to advanced placement, international baccalaureate, and dual credit courses. School districts must use this standard method for calculating grade point averages.
