What is a High School GPA?
A high school GPA (Grade Point Average) is a standardized way to measure academic achievement. It is used by schools and colleges to evaluate your academic performance and eligibility for scholarships, honors, and admissions.
How is High School GPA Calculated?
- Unweighted GPA: Each letter grade is converted to a number (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.), summed, and divided by the number of courses.
- Weighted GPA: Honors, AP, and IB courses receive extra points (e.g., A in AP = 5.0).
Unweighted GPA = (4.0 + 3.3 + 3.7 + 3.0) / 4 = 3.5
Key Differences: Weighted vs Unweighted GPA
| Unweighted GPA | Weighted GPA |
|---|---|
| All courses treated equally | Harder courses get bonus points |
| AP/Honors/IB get no bonus | AP/Honors/IB get extra weight |
| Maximum 4.0 GPA | Can exceed 4.0 GPA |
| Standardized comparison | Rewards course difficulty |
