algierscamelot（2015·陕西省质量检测二）Whether it is elementary school, middle school, or high school in the United States, there will always be an awards ceremony at the end of the year。 Though it varies from school to school， there are a few that are given by most schools across the nation。
The first one is given from grades 3 to 8 and it is the Honor Roll Award。 In elementary and middle school， this award is ud to recognize academic excellence。 This award is also parated into two groups： A Honor Roll and A/B Honor Roll。 It is given out at the end of a school year and students who receive all averages of a 93 or above (90 in some states） on a final report card receive an A Honor Roll, and students with grades above 85 (80 in some states） would receive an A/B Honor Roll. It is to reward students who have worked hard and received all A’s or A’s and B's。
In high school， this is changed a bit, but still can be classified as the same type of award.The difference is that instead of using the scale（等级) of 100, they u a grade point averagettip（GPA） bad on a 4 point scale。 They recognize students with a high GPA as “Honor Students”．If the students keep it up for all four years of high school， then they graduate with honors.
Another notable award is the President’s Award for Educational Excellence。 This is given by the President's Education Awards Program each year to students all over the United States. This award is offered to elementary school,middle school and high school students。 To be eligible（有资格的） for this award, middle school and elementary school students must earn an average grade of 90 or above on a 109 point scale。 High school students must have a GPA of at least 3.5。Students must also have a high score on a statewide or national standardized test or have a recommendation from a teacher. Usually this award is given at the end of the year。 It is a certificate with a signature from the president along with a letter of recognition.
However， many people confu the President’s Award for Educational Excellence with another award， the US Presidential Scholars Program. Even though both have the word“President" in the title， they are completely different awards. Where the President’s Award for Educational Excellence is relatively easy to achieve, the award from the Presidential Scholars Program is not。 To earn the honor of being a Presidential Scholar， a student must be a high school nior last year of high school with outstanding standardized test scores。
