<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>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>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>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>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>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>
