how do high school grad cords work?

high schools give certain graduation cords for over a 3.5 & under 3.4. does anyone know if the cord distribution is based on weighted or unweighted gpa??

I don’t think this is a standard thing. Not all schools weight, not all schools use a 4.0 scale. You’d have to ask someone at your school, guidance counselor maybe.

Every school is different. At my daughter’s school, they ranked based on UW GPA. I think the 4.0 students got one color cord and 3 point something and above got a different color.
