GPA Calculation
Grades 6, 7, 8
- Each course is worth 1.0 credit except for Music courses that are worth 0.5 credits. (Music courses meet every other day)
- Each letter grade a student receives has a value. Here is the Grading Scale noting the letter grade values. This scale is also in the Student Handbook on page 9.
A+ = 4.3 A = 4.0 A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 B- = 2.7 C+ = 2.3 C = 2.0 C- = 1.7
D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0 D- = 0.7 F = 0
3. Letter Grade Value divided by Credits = GPA
