That would depend on your school.

But yes, on an unweighted scale ANY A is a 4.0 (hence the unweighted part). Weighting involves raising the value of higher level courses.

The grades are broken down (I know a lot of schools do it this way) technically on a 12 (13 counting A+) point scale with an A being a 12 an A- being 11 and so on. An average is computed on this scale and then divided by 3 which creates a cleaner version of the 4.0 scale (technically 4.33333333333)
