My old school had a grading scale of 94 to 100 as an A, etc. And then GPA wise, we’d get a 5 for an A, 4 for a B, etc. Didn’t matter if it was an advanced class or not. I think it put us at a disadvantage because our counselors said that colleges would view our GPAs on a ten point scale so someone with a 5.0 would be viewed as a 4.0. Since nothing at our school was weighted, we were pretty much stuck with that as the highest possible GPA. don’t know if that helped.
