How does your school give grades?

<p>My school has a 4-3-2-1 system for UWGPA and a 5-4-3-2-1 system for WGPA (with Honors = AP).</p>

<p>What does your school do?</p>

<hr>

<p>On a separate, but related note: (if your school weights grades) does your school give weighting to classes taken online? Ours doesn’t, and it annoys me because I really want to take an AP that our school doesn’t offer online, but it would effectively prevent me from being valedictorian.</p>

<p>My school is really stingy with GPAs. My UW GPA is 97/100 but on the scale it translates to a 3.79. I don’t think it’s possible to get a perfect 4. My school gives .5 credit extra for weighted classes as in classes that are honors/AP. My weighted is a 4.2. I think the highest weighted at my school currently is a 4.6~4.7. </p>

<p>My school does not weigh classes taken online. Those classes just give you the credit and dont affect your gpa. My school only weighs dual credit courses</p>

<p>Nothing is weighted.</p>

<p>A = 94-100 = 4.0
B = 85-93 = 3.0
C = 74-84 = 2.0
D = 65-73 = 1.0
F = 0-64 = 0.0</p>

<p>For dual-enrollment classes (which can be taken at local colleges, not in the high school itself), each college credit hour counts for 0.2 high school credits. For example, I took a four-credit-hour math class that counted for 0.8 high school credits.</p>

<p>90 - 100 = A
80 - 89.9 = B
And so forth.
Honors classes, which are called “Accelerated” are not weighted. IB, AP, and college courses are weighted. 6 college credits translates to 1 high school credit.
Our transcripts only show unweighted rankings, which is inconvenient.</p>

<p>Unweighted goes to 4.0 and we get weight for AP and IB classes. Even IB SL classes. So the top-ranked students are always IB students. We have pre-AP classes which are not weighted.</p>

<p>Normal: 5-4-3-2-0
Honors/AP: 6-5-4-3-0
Base (support classes and such): 4-3-2-1-0</p>

<p>Class Rank is also really weird at my school, but in my opinion it’s logical. Rank is determined by grade POINTS, not GPA. So if you take a study hall, you’re basically automatically in the bottom 2/3 of the class.
AAAAAA/SH=AABBBBB in terms of rank.</p>

<p>First column: regular 2nd: honors 3rd: AP</p>

<p>A 4 4.5 5
B 3 3.5 4
C 2 2.5 3
D 1 1 1
F 0 0 0</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA ranges from 0 to 4.0 maximum. Weighted GPA ranges from 0 to 4.8 maximum.</p>

<p>A: 4.8—4.0 B: 3.9—3.0 C: 2.9—2.0 D: 1.9—1.0 F: anything less than 1.0</p>

<p>Honors classes add an extra 0.025 to GPA; AP classes/dual-enrollment add an extra 0.050 to GPA.</p>

<p>Only unweighted
A 95 -100 = 4.0
A- 90 - 95 = 3.7
B+ 87 - 90 = 3.3
B 83 - 87 = 3.0
B- 80 - 83 = 2.7
C+ 77 - 80 = 2.3 and so on</p>

<p>Weighted for us is interesting.</p>

<p>Normal classes give a 4.875 starting at 100, then decrease by .125. So a 99 would be 4.75, 98 would be 4.625, and so on. </p>

<p>Honors classes add .5 to the scale, so a 100 is 5.375.</p>

<p>AP is an extra .5, so a 100 is 5.875.</p>

<p>At this point in time, I dislike honors classes just because I have to make a 97 at least to get a 5.0. With APs, getting an A suffices. </p>

<p>My schools GPA is out of 5.
89.5-100 A, 5 points for a regular class, 5.5 for honors and 6 for AP
79.5-80 B, 4 points for regular class, 4.5 for honors and 5 for AP
and so on…
It’s really weird and they don’t tell us our GPA until senior year. We have to calculate it ourselves. </p>

<p>^They don’t tell us our WGPA or rank (weighted or non-weighted) until we go ask for an official transcript for scholarships/college.</p>

<p>We don’t have 1-4 scale.</p>

<p>We are graded 0-100. Honors classes are weighted by .05, AP classes by .08. You have a W average and an UW average. The W average goes into ranking. </p>

<p>My school has a 1-4 scale for unweighted and a 1-5 for weighted. Weighted counts for class rank, valedictorian, salutatorian, etc. </p>

<p>Everything is a 4.0 scale. Weighted classes aka AP classes (not honors, just AP) get an extra credit. So if you got an A in your AP class you get 5 credits instead of 4. </p>

<p>Everything is on a scale out of 100. Weighted is done by taking what you got in a class (say a 94), adding 5 points for AP, 4 for dual college and high school and 3 for accelerated classes. Since our school doesn’t offer that many accelerated, AP or college classes, wgpa is rarely much different from regular. As val my unweighted is like 98.7 and my weighted is like 101. Everything uw over 93 is considered a 4.0.</p>

<p>Mine is
93-100=A
92-85= B
Etc
A= 4.0 honors or regular and 4.5 for AP
B= 3.0 honors or regular and 3.5 for AP</p>

<p>Normal unweighted gpa Is on a 4.0 scale. Honors classes do not give a gpa boost. However, AP classes do. If you take an AP class it automatically gives you a 0.025 boost to your gpa. </p>

<p>My district operates on the 12 point scale. 12 is A+, 11 is A, 10 is A-, etc. There’s a 3 point boost (or, 1 letter grade) for AP classes. That’s it. </p>

<p>my school doesn’t weight AP classes. an A is 4, A- 3.66 B+ 3.33 B 3. The worst part is that it’s hard not to get an A if you do all the work. The top 10% of my class(around 15 kids) are tied for 1st with 4.0s even though there are a couple kids who take gym classes half the day</p>
