How do you graduate in highschool with a 4.0 GPA?

Question

My older sister is applying to college and I guess at one of the really big schools more than half the students that applied had 4.0 GPA's or better, and not all were accepted. Basically I was wondering how you graduate with a 4.0 or better, do you have to get all a's on every report card every year and how do you figure your gpa. Like I have 6 classes a day at highschool and all my grades are above a 95%. So like how does that work do you have to like get only a's and with only a's don't you have to get a 100% to get a perfect 4.0 gpa and how in the world do you get a 4.5 like our neighbor?

Answer 1

I know where I go to school your GPA can be weighted by AP or dual-enrolment (college) classes. That's the only way I know you can get above a 4.0. Also, you don't have to get a 100% in all your classes to have a 4.0. You just have to have all A's.

Answer 2

It depends on your school. Some schools weight some harder classes so they give more credit. Some have a 5 point scale and some have a 4 point scale. If you have all your grades above
95 %, you have a 4 GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Answer 3

A GPA > 4.0 means it has been weighted to give more credit for AP (advanced placement courses). So if you get an A in an AP class that is a 5.0.

Answer 4

I'm old school and never learned GPA but you have the right idea. A person would have to get 95% or better on every subject in every year.

Answer 5

in my state cali you have to have these classes called Ap classes and if you get an F it counts as a D and if you get a C it counts as a C and C as B and B as A and A is has 5.0 or sometin like dat
