How is Grade Point Average Calculated? A common measure of the nation's high school students' academic achievement is the grade point average (GPA). Calculating GPA requires both grade information and course credit information.
Academic Achievement. Intermediate students averaging a 3.0 in a single quarter are recognized with the title of Honor Roll recipient. A 3.0 grade point average (GPA) is earned through calculating the amount of A's, B's and C's a student earns. Each grade is worth a set amount of points: A=4, B=3, C=2. Students receiving D or F grades are disqualified from earning Honor Roll, regardless of their GPA. GPA is tallied by adding up the sum of grade points and dividing by the total number of grades.
