<p>Honors classes are weighted 1.06
AP classes are weighted 1.08</p>
<p>93-100=A
86-92=B
79-85=C
72-78=D
Anything below a 72 is failing.</p>
<p>My school is weird.</p>
<p>honors/AP is weighted the same. </p>
<p>95-100 | 4.0 uw | 5.3 w A
90-94 | 3.7 uw | 5.0 w A-
87-89 | 3.5 uw | 4.6 w B+
83-86 | 3.2 uw | 4.3 w B</p>
<p>sadly, most of my grades are 93 and 94.</p>
<p>Ours add a full point to our gpa, max gpa is 5.0</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^That's ridiculous!</p>

<p>Haha, that made me laugh. </p>
<p>The highest weighted GPA at my school ever was 104 something.
Mine is 4 points or so below that.
Sad me. :(</p>
<p>No, it's not. I got to a large public school, so a full point should be added to remain equality in class rank.</p>
<p>I live in Texas, so the difficulty of on level English and history are really easy. We have a lot of Ap classes/honor classes too, so without weighting kids would be tempted to breeze through on level classes while maintaining a 4.0.</p>
<p>By adding a full point I did not mean to our accumulative gpa, I meant to that class</p>
<p>An example:</p>
<p>A= 5.0
B= 4.0
C= 3.0
D= 2.0
F= 0.0</p>
<p>"It is such a setback, because that way, a lot of kids who have never taken a single honours course in their lives are able to find a way into the top 10% solely by being lazy and a lot of the hard-working advanced students"</p>
<p>Don't despair, because at the end of the day, when GC has to write a recommendation for college admission on who did the most rigorous courses, it will definitely not be a setback for you, but for those who took the easy way out.</p>
<p>Honors aren't weighted, AP is +1 to the GPA for the letter grade. We go by a normal 4 point GPA for unweighted.</p>
<p>Sorry! I thought you meant to your actual GPA. :)</p>
<p>That's fair =)</p>
<p>We have a 100-point scale, no weighting for honors or AP, which i think is good because colleges can actually see what you've done and there's really no arbitray cutoof of 93+ or 90+ equals a 4.0</p>
<p>Regular:
90- 100: A: 4.0
80-89: B: 3.0
70-79: C: 2.0
60-69 D .0
anything below F and O</p>
<p>Honors: add .5
DE/AP: add 1</p>
<p>A / 95-100 / 4.0
A- / 94-90 / 3.7
B+ / 87-89 / 3.3
B / 83-86 / 3.0
B- / 80-82 / 2.7
C+ / 77-79 / 2.3
C / 73-76 / 2.0
C- / 70-72 / 1.7
D / 65-69 / 1
F / Below 65</p>
<p>1 point is given for AP classes and .5 for honor classes. My school factors in gym and health into each student's gpa, which is really stupid in my opinion, but whatever.</p>
<p>It doesn't.</p>
<p>My school leaves grades alone out of 100, and we get +5% for honors and +10% for AP's.</p>
<p>For every AP credit successfully completed, we have .05 added permanently to our weighted GPA. For honors courses, it's .025.</p>
<p>It sounds like everyone's grading system is rather general, as in an "A" is a broad range of 5-10 points.</p>
<p>In my school:
A+ = 97-100 (AP: 5.375, Honors: 4.945, CP: 4.3)
A = 93-96 (AP: 5.0, Honors: 4.6, CP: 4.0)
A- = 90-92 (AP: 4.625, Honors: 4.255, CP: 3.7)
B+ = 87-89 (AP: 4.125, Honors: 3.795, CP: 3.3)
B = 83-86 (AP: 3.75, Honors: 3.45, CP: 3.0)</p>
<p>We don't add points for a honors/AP class, you get a higher weighted GPA.</p>
<p>Generally, the grading system in my school is the following:
100-90 A 4.0
89-80 B 3.0
79-70 C 2.0
69-60 D 1.0
59.4 and below F 0.0</p>
<p>Honors/AP classes are weighted the SAME:
100-90 A 5.0
89-80 B 4.0
79-70 C 3.0
69-60 D 2.0
59.4 and below F 0.0</p>
<p>Honors: x1.1
AP: x1.25 (i think)</p>
<p>Stupid texas law might make blanket GPA, which really, really sucks. First, honors and regulars classes are supposedly going to be weighted the same. IMHO, honors = 2-3 times work of regulars. Regulars at my school is being able to breath and to fill in the blank; cheating is also rampant (kids sharing crib sheets, teachers don't mind/ too meek to talk back, opening text books and copying) Nonacademic classes won't count at all, but will still be required by the high schools (fine arts, technology requirement)
We apparently are following college board's rules for some stupid reason.

<p>I am doing some research for my high school. Can you tell me where I can find your school’s system on-line - i.e. +8 pts for AP and +5 pts for Honors so I can show it to them</p>
