A Statement Regarding GPA’s
The transcript contains two numbers. One represents the student’s weighted GPA accumulated since the beginning of the 9th grade. This GPA reflects any weight a student received for taking an AP or Honors course. The second number is the student’s unweighted GPA. This GPA does not provide any weight for AP or Honors classes nor does it factor in any plus grades (i.e. A+, B+, C+ etc).
