When do the grades in my courses start impacting my GPA?
When do the grades in my courses start impacting my GPA?
While many students start taking high school credit courses in middle school, grades from these courses do not factor into your GPA until 9th grade. For example, if you take Algebra 1 or Spanish 1 in middle school, the credits will count toward high school graduation and will appear on your high school transcript, but they will not be included in your GPA or Class Rank calculations.

Your GPA calculation will appear on your transcript for the first time after you complete your first semester in high school.

For students who enroll at Guyer High School after the fall semester of 9th grade, GPA will be calculated and included on the transcript after completing one full semester at Guyer.
What is the difference between unweighted and weighted GPA?
What is the difference between unweighted and weighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale for all courses—whether the class is on-level, Honors, AP, or Dual Credit. Every course is treated the same in terms of GPA value, regardless of level of difficulty.
Weighted (earned) GPA, on the other hand, gives additional value to more rigorous courses. In this system:
On-level courses are still on a 4.0 scale
Honors, AP, and Dual Credit courses are calculated on a 5.0 scale, reflecting the increased academic challenge.
