GPA- What is it and why is it important?

GPA stands for ‘grade point average’. It is the sum of all your course grades throughout the semester and school year. The grades you earn throughout your high school career will be reviewed by colleges when they consider your application.

How to Calculate your GPA:

GPA’s are calculated on a 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. A GPA is calculated by adding up your grades and diving by the total number of classes taken.

Here is an example:

English	B	3
Algebra 1	A	4
Biology	C	2
History	B	3
Dance/PE	D	1
Music	C	2
Art	C	3
Spanish	B	3
Add for Total =		21
Take Total and divide by total number of classes 21 / 8 = 2.62 GPA
