Calculating Your GPA

To calculate your GPA for middle school and high school, assign a grade point value to each letter grade according to the following scale*:

A = 4 grade points
B = 3 grade points
C = 2 grade points
D = 1 grade point
F = 0 grade points

Add the units and grade points separately. Then, divide the total grade points by total units to get the average, as shown below.

Grades	Total Units	Grade Points per Unit	Total Grade Points
A	5	x 4	20
B	10	x 3	30
B	2	x 2	4
D	1	x 1	1
F	1	x 0	0
Total Units: 19 Total Grade Points: 55
Total Grade Points ÷ Total Units = GPA Example GPA calculation: 55 ÷ 19 = 2.89 GPA

* Grades in approved honors courses taken in the 11th and 12th grades are assigned an additional point for grades of A, B or C. There are no honors points awarded for grades of D and F. A maximum of 8 extra points for approved honors courses will be awarded. A maximum of 2 of these units can be completed in the 10th grade.
