Grading is based on a 4.0 scale. Honors and Colorado Mesa University/Western Colorado University concurrent enrollment classes are weighted: where a C or better is earned, one grade point is added to the semester grade point total (A=5.0 rather than a 4.0 etc.)
In addition, about 25-30 junior and senior students a year are concurrently enrolled in CTE programs through CMU, TCR, and Montrose HS. Programs include: CNA and Vet Asst, Emergency Medical Responder, Early Childhood Ed, Computer Networking, Welding and Machining, Hairstyling, and Auto/Diesel Repair.

**Ranking of our students might skew perceptions. Our junior and senior classes are extremely competitive, and it is not unusual for the top 10% of the class to have a 4.0 GPA or greater due to the number of weighted honors courses and concurrent enrollment courses through Colorado Mesa University and Western Colorado University available on our campus.
