Assign the correct point value to each grade earned
Add up the total and divide by the number of grades
ALL students who wish to participate in school activities (athletics, band, cheer, color guard, etc.) must have a minimum 2.0 GPA
Students in an Honors (except H English 10), AP, or IB level course will be awarded an extra grade point for each grade earned with a “C-” or better
Adding in these extra points into the GPA calculation is necessary to determine a weighted GPA
GRADE POINT AVERAGESTranscript lists three different grade point averages (GPA’s): Academic GPA (9-12), Academic GPA (10-12), and Total GPA (9-12). Each is calculated differently:Unweighted Academic GPA – All courses taken in the respective years (i.e. 9-12 GPA, 10-12 GPA) are used in the calculation with the exception of PE courses. No courses are weighted.Weighted Academic GPA – All courses taken in the respective years are calculated with the exception of PE courses; Honors (except H English 10), AP and IB courses receive an extra weighted point if the grade earned is ‘C-’ or better. Colleges do not accept any grade lower than a ‘C-’ in Honors, AP, or IB courses.Total Unweighted GPA – All courses taken in all grades are used in the calculation. No courses are weighted.Total Weighted GPA – All courses taken in all grades are calculated; Honors (except H English 10), AP, and IB courses receive an extra weighted point if the grade earned is ‘C-’ or better.UC/CSU GPA – All “A – G” courses, including weighted, beginning in 10th grade. This GPA calculates up to 8 weighted grades which is consistent with UC/CSU eligibility restrictions.
