I talked to some of my colleagues in Quakertown, as I was not here for the initial implementation of SBG. There are no high schools that we know of that do not convert to a final GPA. That doesn't mean that there are not any out there - just that we are not aware of any. One of the districts that we visited when we were exploring SBG was Adams County 50 in Colorado - but since we never considered not doing a final GPA, we really don't know their status as to how they do the high school transcript piece. We never considered not doing a final GPA because the community and parents were concerned about college acceptance. While we are pretty confident colleges would accept something other than a final GPA, it could have been a breaking point for SBG in this particular community. If you do come across some systems that have removed the final GPA, we would be interested to learn more!
