Yes, unweighted, counting any level of A as a 4.0, any B as a 3.0 , etc. . Now with weights, the kids who do it in honors/AP get much higher rank, but in many schools A- in regular is not at all rare and in fact A- and above is often given out to more than half the class . This is true of publics and privates and when our school has had local teachers come from public to private they have often been asked to tighten their grades and give out less A range grades especially in honors and AP, where A ranges can be less than a third in some classes. Regular classes still have over half A range. It is not unusual nor limited to this area and I mention it only because I have seen it too many times locally with friends and on CC where parents and kids think they are “probably top 10%” with one or two Bs but below the average amount of honors for their school, and later realize they are middle of the pack.
