General Ed = 4.0
College Prep = 5.0
Honors = 6.0
AP = 7.0
WHAT? AP classes get a 7.0 if you get an A? We only have TWO level of classes College Prep, and Honors/AP Classes. It's frustrating, there is a HUGE gap in difficulty between the CP classes and the honors and nothing in between. Junior year you either do AP Literature or CP English for example. Freshman classes don't get the +1.. even if they are honors. (There are classes for English Learners.. ) Music, art, drama, PE classes, or sports do not get extra points unless it's AP Art, or AP Music Theory.
Most classes are on a 4.0 scale. And select honors and ALl AP classes are +1. If you get a C in an honors/AP class you don't get the extra point. I figured it out the other day the highest GPA you can possibly get at the school is a 4.6 and that would means A's on an almost impossible schedule and only possible since this years schedule change. Top GPA's range from 4.35-4.45.
But these GPA ranges with 7.0's don't really affect GPA for getting into university. The local state university's system for creating GPA had a very clearly defined set of classes that get +1 points. Our state college system takes the classes you take and calculate it's OWN GPA. School look at your GPA system and compare it to other schools GPA system.
