If a pupil transfers from a high school located outside this State or from a private high school located in this State and en rolls in high school at a school district or charter school in this State, the pupil's transcript must be reviewed and a value must be assigned for each grade earned by the pupil in the other state or at the private high school as follows: (a) If the pupil's transcript contains a letter grade for a course, that letter grade must be assigned a numerical value in accordance with the grading scale prescribed by subsection 1. (b) If the pupil's transcript does not contain a letter grade for a course but contains a numerical value for a grade in the course, th at numerical value must be assigned in accordance with the grading scale prescribed by subsection 1.(c) If the pupil's transcript contains a notation that the pupil has completed an honors course, an advanced placement course or an international baccalaureate course with a grade of A, B, C or D, the weighted value prescribed by subsection 2 must be applied for that course. If the transcript does not contain such a notation, the grading scale prescribed by subsection 1 must be applied for the course. 5. The uniform grading scale prescribed by this section applies to pupils who are enrolled in grade 9 beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, until graduation of those pupils, including, without limitation, pupils who repeat grade 9 in the 2014-2015 school year. 6.
