There are two types of GPA (Grade Point Average) and BOTH are reported on your transcript:

  • Un-Weighted GPA - no extra quality points

  • Weighted GPA - takes into account Honors, AP / IB, and college-level courses, giving extra quality points for the increased rigor/difficulty.

The chart above explains how many quality points are awarded for each grade earned.

 

How to Calculate Your Weighted GPA

  1. Determine quality points for each letter grade using the chart above.

  2. Total the quality points.

  3. Divide total quality points by the total number of courses.

All Guilford County Schools determine official GPA based on final grades.
Students are ranked from highest to lowest GPA using cumulative weighted grades.
​To calculate an unweighted GPA, use the academic scale only.
