What is the deal with GPA's?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Yeah you guys are lucky. Mine’s like B+/A- and my GPA is like 3.7. ***! :O</p>

</p>

<p>89.5??? Lol well… I guess we all are overstruck but issues =/</p>

<p>The biggest joke about your whole Grade/25 thing is that an 85 at my school is a 3. An 85 at your school is a 3.4!!!</p>

<p>My school is… completely messed up.</p>

<p>H = 100+ = 5.0 (but some teachers don’t give out H’s, some give them out for 95+, it really depends on the teacher)
A+ = 97-100 = 4.3
A = 93-96 = 4.0
A- = 90-92 = 3.7
B+ = 87-89 = 3.3
B = 83-86 = 3.0
B- = 80-82 = 2.7
C+ = 77-79 = 2.3
C = 73-74 = 2.0</p>

<p>etc</p>

<p>But we don’t weight, so some kids taking Regents (regular) classes can have 4.3 GPAs, whereas kids taking all APs struggle for 4.0s. And National Honor Society doesn’t weight GPAs either, so a lot of people who shouldn’t necessarily be in NHS are.</p>

<p>^Which is why NHS is not highly touted at all.</p>
