How to use the attendance and honor roll calculator
Perfect attendance sounds like a single rule, but most handbooks add a second one: a set number of tardies or early dismissals converts into a full day of absence, which is how a student with zero absences still misses the award. This page takes the school days in the term, the absences, the tardies, early dismissals and missed periods, and the conversion rule from your handbook, then reports each criterion separately alongside the honor roll GPA cutoff.
Perfect attendance is met only when absences, tardies, early dismissals and missed periods are all zero. The absence-free criterion is met when absences alone are zero, regardless of tardies. Converted absences are tardies plus early dismissals plus missed periods, divided by the conversion figure and rounded down; entering zero turns the conversion off. The attendance rate is days present divided by school days, times 100. Honor roll is met when your GPA is at or above the cutoff, and a GPA exactly on the cutoff leaves a gap of 0.00.
Conversion rules and honor roll cutoffs are set by each school or district, so every threshold here is entered by you rather than assumed. Use the same GPA scale for the cutoff and your own figure, weighted or unweighted. This page checks the criteria you enter and nothing more: it does not decide who receives an award, since schools weigh discipline records, service and teacher recommendations as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. At or above the cutoff counts as met, so the gap shows as 0.00 and the honor roll criterion is reported as satisfied.
Not here. Perfect attendance requires absences, tardies, early dismissals and missed periods all at zero. With tardies only the absence-free criterion is met.
No. It checks the criteria you enter. Award decisions also involve discipline records, service and recommendations that this page does not see.
