An 80
What are you hoping to do next?
This is not even close to ivy league level, and your state flagship is probably also a reach or out of reach. However, you should be able to get into a decent university, or you could go on to CC and intend to transfer, or learn a trade. University is not for everyone – in fact the majority of Americans never go to university.
Expect university or community college to be significantly more difficult than high school (assuming that you choose to go to university or CC).
Your GPA is evaluated in the context of your school (known for tough grading?), your class choices (the easy A versus AP classes?), trends (going up or down? consistently good in history but bad in science?) and fit (are you in line with the students at the school/major you are applying to?)
OP did not mention the Ivy League…most college students in the US do not think about Ivy-League schools, much less apply. Don’t know why CC must be so Ivy-centric.
OP, an 80 can be terrible, or fine, depending on your own goals and capabilities. It’s all relative. No one can give you an answer without some context. Without some other achievements (or life story) in the balance it may be difficult for you to get into selective colleges at this point in your life…but if you apply yourself from this day forward, you can still get a very good education. If your ambitions are higher than your current GPA you may have to attend a less selective, or “average” college or university, work very hard and transfer after a year or two. Some students find that they thrive at these schools, get a lot of support from professors, and go on to excellent careers or highly-rated graduated programs. My husband teaches at one of these schools (a no-name state directional) and is very pleased whenever one of his students goes on to success, however that is defined. If you are disappointed in your own achievements, today is a good time to challenge yourself. You are young. There are many possibilities open to you, if you decide to work hard.
It’s not bad. It won’t get you into Duke, but it’ll get you into a respectable school. Just get a reasonable score on your SAT.
There are colleges for you with that GPA (basically a 3.0).
Are you happy with it?
Are you doing the best you can to get the best grades you can?
