GPA Lesson

• Grade

• Point

• Average

• Your GPA is the average of all your semester report card grades for the courses you take in high school.

• What is the average mean?

• Pretty much which grades you are most likely getting... 3.0 means mostly B's 4.0 means mostly A's etc

Because it’s an average, every grade has an impact.

And because it’s an average, the more grades you’ve already earned, the harder it is to make dramatic changes in your GPA. Once you hit your junior and senior years, usually more than half the grades for your final GPA have already been “baked into” the calculations. Meaning it wont make a huge change.  

So, it’s important to do your best starting in ninth grade, and make every grade count!

So.. once you get into highschool your GPA stays with you .....

You dont get to start a new GPA every year.... they BUILD on eachother

​This scale is used to determine how many points will be averaged together to make your GPA. It starts at 4.0 for an A and goes down 1 point every letter grade. +/- is worth .3 points
