Un-Weighted GPA - no extra quality points
Weighted GPA - takes into account Honors, AP, and CCP courses, giving extra quality points for the increased rigor.
The chart below explains how many quality points are awarded for each grade earned.
To calculate your GPA, make a list of your grades and the points you earned from each grade (see chart above), then add up the grades and divide by 4 classes.
Example: A-4, B-3, B-3, C- 2 = 12/4 = 3.0
