GPA (UW) : 3.5208 -- I failed Algebra 2 Honors in 10th grade and retook it that same year and got a B. I talked about this in my additional info essay being attributed to me caring/worrying/being depressed about my grandfather who got bone cancer at the time. Also, my teacher was really bad (she got demoted to teaching regular 9th grade math the next semester since everyone failed as a result of her incompetence), but I didn't talk about her in any of my apps.
