Forty-five students on the list are currently on pace to be placed on the Principal’s List, which means that the student has straight A’s. Eighteen of those students currently have above a 4.0 GPA.

The East Baton Rouge Parish School System releases progress reports after each nine-week period at the high school level. Grades on progress reports are not final, as the official transcript grade is cumulative based on the entire semester grading period. Woodlawn High School sends progress reports home at the end of each nine-week grading period as well as at the beginning of each month.
