AP Students

All students enrolled in an AP class at Grimsley High School should complete the AP Parent Letter form provided by their teacher via web link or QR code.  Each AP student must complete this once.  All AP students should also create or login to their AP Classroom account and use the AP Join Code provided by their teacher to enroll in the course and register them for the AP Exam.  Failure to complete these essential steps could result in a student being dropped from their AP course.  Please contact Mr. Barnard if you have any questions.

There are two types of GPA (Grade Point Average) and BOTH are reported on your transcript:

• Un-Weighted GPA - no extra quality points

• Weighted GPA - takes into account Honors, AP / IB, and college-level courses, giving extra quality points for the increased rigor/difficulty.

How to Calculate Your Weighted GPA

1. Determine quality points for each letter grade using the chart above.

2. Total the quality points.

3. Divide total quality points by the total number of courses.

All Guilford County Schools determine official GPA based on final grades.
Students are ranked from highest to lowest GPA using cumulative weighted grades.
​To calculate an unweighted GPA, use the academic scale only.
