6Grade Point Average - Parent Tips for Calculation
A GPA, or grade point average, converts letter grades (A, B, C, D, or F) into numbers or point
values and averaging them to see where grades stand as a whole. For example, an A equals 4
points, B equals 3 points, C equals 2 points, D equals 1 point, and F (failing) receives 0 points.
Use the grading scale below for specific weights.

Calculating Yearly GPA
1. Assign points for each completed course credit
2. Add up the number of course credits taken. Award either 1 or ½ credit for each course;
give 1 credit for a 1 year course and give ½ (0.5) credit for a 1 semester course
3. Sum the grade points and divide them by the sum of the course credits taken in a given
year, and then round to the nearest two (2) decimal places. This is the yearly GPA
4. Continue this formula until you convert each grade given for all courses taken in a given
year, and then add the grade points together
