It’s pretty easy to calculate for unweighted.

Let’s say you take 6 classes a year and you get 2 grades for each class. So that’s 12 semesters. 12 is your denominator. So if you had all As, you would have 48 (12 semesters x 4) as your numerator. 48/12=4.0. You had 3.2-ish, so 3.2 x 12 =~ 38. So for around 3.2 (3.16 actually) GPA, your numerator is 38.

So if you got all As in 10th and 11th grade, the calculation would be ( 38 + 48 + 48 ) / (12 + 12 + 12) =~ 3.72

If you go all As in 10th, 11th and 12th, your unweighted GPA would be ( 38 + 48 + 48 + 48 ) / 48 =~ 3.79. So yes with all As, assuming 6 classes per year, your unweighted would almost get to 3.8 by the end of 12th grade.

Note that for weighted GPA, if your school gives you added weight for classes, extra points would just be added on to the numerator, making your GPA higher.
