How does your HS report GPA?

Our school reports weighted gpa and numerical grades. Some classes like gym/health don’t count towards gpa but numerical grade is still listed on the transcript.

Rank is given three times- once in October of senior year to use for colleges and once again after 1st semester senior year to help with scholarships, and at the end of the year to pick the val/sal/top 10. The val/sal/class president/ and an orator speak at graduation.

We have a weighted chart up to a 5.3 for AP/Dual Enrollment
Example
Standard Level, College Prep Honors Advanced Placement
A+ 98-100 3.8 4.3 4.8 5.3
A 93-97 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0
A- 90-92 3.2 3.

There are definitely people picking classes based on weighted gpa vs interests. . My current 8th grader picked a 1 semester college prep intro to engineering class as a 9th grade class which doesn’t have an honors option. I will admit my first thought was no don’t take it, take an honors class. However I didn’t tell my daughter that and I know engineering interests her.
