- Unweighted GPA: A 4.0 scale with A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.
- Weighted GPA: Honors courses +0.5, AP/IB courses +1.0 (on top of unweighted)
- Grades below D (F) receive 0 for both unweighted and weighted.
The High School GPA Calculator is a thoughtful and feature-rich tool designed to help high school students accurately track their academic performance across semesters. What sets it apart from a basic GPA calculator is its support for both weighted and unweighted GPAs, meaning it properly accounts for the extra academic credit that Honors and AP/IB courses deserve. Enter your courses, view your semester GPA instantly, save semesters to build a cumulative record, and export everything as a clean PDF whenever you need it for college applications or personal reference.
How Weighting Works:
- Unweighted GPA: Uses the standard 4.0 scale where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, and so on, regardless of course difficulty.
- Weighted GPA: Adds 0.5 to the grade points for Honors courses and 1.0 for AP/IB courses on top of the unweighted value, recognizing the extra rigor involved.
- Grades below D receive 0 points for both weighted and unweighted calculations.
