• Calculating Your GPA

    1. Look at your percentage grade for each of your classes.
    2. Using the chart on the right, write the grade point average for each class. Use half of that number for half-credit classes.
    3. Add all values.
    4. Divide by the total credits you are taking.

    Here is an example for a ninth-grade student:

    Class Percentage Credit Grade Point Average
    Ceramics 92 ½ 3.5/2 = 1.75
    Piano 98 ½ 4.5/2 = 2.25
    Chorus 97 1 4.5
    Biology 93 1 4.0
    Spanish 78 1 2.5
    Algebra 91 1 3.4
    Civics 81 1 2.5
    Language Arts 93 1 4.0
    Total   7 25.0

     

    25/7 = 3.57
