Formula
A is 4, B is 3, C is 2, D is 1, and F is 0:
High school GPA = sum(credits × letter points) / sum(credits)
Plus and minus grades belong on the college page. Honors bonuses belong on the weighted page.
Assumptions
- Letters have no plus or minus.
- No honors bonus is added.
Worked example
An A and a B, each worth 1 credit, make a high school GPA of 3.5.
Input definitions

Why is there no A−?
This page is the unweighted whole-letter scale. Use the college page for plus and minus.
