Unweighted GPA went down as courses became more difficult but weighted GPA went up as he took more classes that were weighted and challenging. 9th grade (4 Honors classes and 3 Regular) 10th (2 AP, 4 Honors and 1 Regular), 11th (5 AP and 2 Honors) and 12th (1 Post-AP, 5 AP and 1 Regular). Some of the As early on became A-s and B+s as the courses got harder and time management played a bigger role due to ECs. Solid student. Not straight As but always chose things that were challenging.

I never viewed it as a downward trend but if you looked at true unweighted GPAs he did his best freshmen year.
