Grade Point Average - How to Calculate
Grade Point Average or GPA is the average of the points earning during one grading period. For example, a student earned the following academic grades on the report card:
Advisory - NG - Students do not earn academic grades in advisory. This class does not count toward the academic GPA but does count toward the citizenship GPA.
(Points earned)
Per 1 - B (3)
Per 2 - C (2)
Per 3 - A (4)
Per 4 - F (0)
Per 5 - B (3)
Per 6 - C (2)
Total Points 14 divided by the number of classes - six (6) = 2.33 academic GPA
