High School GPA Calculator

Calculate your high school GPA on a 4.0 scale. Track your grades across all four years and see how your GPA impacts college admissions.

Calculate your high school GPA to see where you stand for college admissions. Most high schools use a 4.0 unweighted scale, though many also offer a weighted scale (up to 5.0) that gives extra points for AP, IB, and honors classes.

Tips for High School GPA

1

Unweighted GPA uses the standard 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA gives AP/IB classes an extra 1.0 (A in AP = 5.0)

2

Most selective colleges look at BOTH weighted and unweighted GPA, plus the rigor of your course load

3

Your GPA from sophomore and junior year matters most for college admissions — but don't slack senior year

Frequently Asked Questions

Do colleges look at weighted or unweighted GPA?
Most colleges consider both, but they especially look at course rigor. A 3.7 unweighted GPA with 8 AP classes is typically viewed more favorably than a 4.0 with no advanced courses. Many colleges recalculate your GPA using their own system.
