How Does Your School Weight Grades?

<p>Just want to see the most common way high schools weight grades, and the different ways they do it.</p>

<p>For my school:
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0</p>

<p>But if the class is honors, AP, or city college, then you add one point to the grade. For example, a B in an honors course is a 4.0 while an A in a cc course is a 5.0.</p>

<p>Also, sports are not counted as academic classes, but arts are.</p>

<p>A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
A: 3.3
B+: 3.0
B: 2.7
B-: 2.3
C+: 2.0
C: 1.7
C-: 1.3
D: 1.0</p>

<p>I think.</p>

<p>And then for weighted classes, our school does them on a 100 point scale. They convert our GPAs, and then ad 12.5 for each AP class and 6.25 for each honors class. This translates to +.5 on the GPA scale for AP and +.25 on the GPA scale for honors.</p>

<p>Multiply by 1.10 for AP and all dual-enrollment CC classes
Multiply by 1.05 for Advanced/Pre-AP classes</p>

<p>100 point scale only. People often take classes at the CC to inflate their gpa since practically every course is easier at the CC.</p>

<p>My school grades on a scale of 7</p>

<p>7: A in a Pre-AP, GT, or AP class
6: A in an academic / grade level class, B for everything else
5: B in an academic / grade level class, C for everything else
etc, etc</p>

<p>Multiply by 1.15 for AP
Multiply by 1.12 for Honors
Multiply by 1.08 for College-Prep
Multiply by 1.02 for On-Level (I don’t know why the lowest class is weighted…lol…)</p>

<p>A = UW-4.0/W-5.0
B = UW-3.0/W4.0
C = 2.0- weighted and unweighted.</p>

<p>A=4.0
B=3.0
C=2.0
D=1.0
F=0.0</p>

<p>AP= +1 to everything
Pre-AP/Honors= +0.5 to everything</p>

<p>100-96=4.0
starts going down from there and the list is too long for me to exactly remember.</p>

<p>Honors/College Credit other than AP: +1 quality point
AP: +2 quality points</p>

<p>A-4.0
B-3.0
C-2.0
D-1.0
F-0</p>

<p>For AP classes a point is added to your gpa. So a 4.0(A) would be a 5.0. For honors classes. .5 is added. </p>

<p>Tell me if anyone elses school does this. In honors classes you get 3 points added to your grade. Say if your final grade in an honors class was a 90, 3 points are added making it a 93. Its the same in AP classes, except you get 5 points added.</p>

<p>Non-honors classes are 1.0 weights and Honors/AP/Select classes are 1.2 weights</p>

<p>GPA:
A 4.0
B 3.0
C 2.0
F 0</p>

<p>AP: add 1.0
Honors: nothing</p>

<p>Simple.</p>

<p>Yeah, I wish we got Pre-AP or Honors classes weighted, my GPA would be a lot better. As it is we have</p>

<p>A: 4.0
B: 3.0
C. 2.0</p>

<p>etc, with 1.0 added for an AP class.</p>

<p>I just found out, in my school:
A in AP (taking the national test) = 5
A in H, or AP w/o the national test = 4.5
A in others = 4
B in AP, or H = 4
etc.</p>

<p>A : 11.0
A-: 10.0
B+: 9.0
B: 8.0
…so on…
E: 0.0</p>

<p>All classes are weighted equally, without regards for “AP,” “Honors,” or “college level.”</p>

<p>Thinking about what my GPA would be like at a normal school makes me feel better about its craptasticness :P</p>

<p>Wow, I’m surprised how different every schools weights are. Mine are the same as the OPs. No wonder colleges need to see UW GPA, because the weights are all so different!</p>

<p>“Regular classes”
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0</p>

<p>Accelerated (a step below honors)
A = 4.2
B = 3.4
C = 2.4
D = 1.2
F = 0.0</p>

<p>Honors
A = 4.5
B = 4.0
C = 3.0
D = 1.5
F = 0.0</p>

<p>AP
A = 4.8
B = 4.3
C = 3.3
D = 1.8
F = 0.0</p>
