What is GPA?

A grade point average (GPA) is a calculated average of the letter grades you earn in school following a 0 to 4.0 or 5.0 scale. Every semester, you’ll receive a GPA based on the grades you earned in all of your classes during that semester. Throughout high school, you’ll also maintain a cumulative GPA, which is an ongoing average of all your semester one and two grades beginning with freshman year.

When you apply to colleges, they’ll receive a copy of your transcript featuring your current cumulative GPA. Colleges use this number to measure your overall performance in school and compare you to other prospective students.

Why does knowing your GPA matter?

Your GPA is important for your future because:

1. Even before college, your GPA can determine whether or not you’re eligible to take Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses during your junior and senior years of high school.
2. For admission, prospective colleges consider both your GPA and your class rank (What is class rank?), which is determined by your GPA. So the higher your GPA, the better your chances are of getting into the college of your choice.
3. Your GPA is a major consideration for both academic and athletic college scholarships as well as financial aid.
