Student Transcripts
The transcript officially records the student's academic work done while enrolled at Pine-Richland High School. The
transcript lists courses attempted and the final grade earned for each course. Non-PRHS courses are included but not
calculated into the students final GPA.
In computing the final grade for a yearlong course, each quarter grade is worth 20% of the course-end grade. The
midterm and the final exams each count as 10% of the year-end grade. If there is doubt about how a final course-grade
was calculated, please contact the teacher of the course directly. For semester long courses, each quarter grade is worth
40% of the final course grade and the exam counts as 20%.
Requests for PRHS to send out a transcript must be made by filling out a Transcript Request Form in addition to a
Parent Release of Record form and then submitting it to the school counseling office at least ten (10) business days prior
to the due date. No transcripts are sent until after the add/drop period at the start of the school year. Transcript Request
Forms and parent signature forms are available in the school counseling office as well as on the website at
www.pinerichland.org/prhs under scheduling resources. Click here for a tutorial on requesting a transcript.

Class Rank
Class rank is determined by ordering students based upon a cumulative GPA calculated using final grades earned for
PRSD courses. Class rank is not reported on the student's transcript unless requested by parents. Parents can make this
request by completing the Inclusion of Class Rank Transcript Request Form that is available in the school counseling
office.
