What Is a Junior High GPA?
A Junior High GPA is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance based on the grades earned in different courses. GPA usually stands for Grade Point Average and is commonly calculated on a 4.0 scale.
Each letter grade is assigned a grade-point value. The grade points are then combined with the credit hours for each course to calculate an overall GPA. Our Junior High GPA Calculator uses a standard unweighted 4.0 scale.
How to Calculate Junior High GPA
To calculate your junior high GPA, multiply the grade points for each course by the number of credit hours. Add all of the resulting grade points together and divide that total by the total number of credit hours.
The basic formula is:
For example, if you earn an A in a 1-credit course, the course contributes 4.00 grade points. A B in a 1-credit course contributes 3.00 grade points. The same calculation is repeated for each course.
Junior High GPA Scale
This calculator uses the following standard unweighted 4.0 GPA scale:
| Letter Grade | Grade Points |
|---|---|
| A | 4.00 |
| A- | 3.70 |
| B+ | 3.30 |
| B | 3.00 |
| B- | 2.70 |
| C+ | 2.30 |
| C | 2.00 |
| C- | 1.70 |
| D+ | 1.30 |
| D | 1.00 |
| F | 0.00 |
Schools can use different grading systems or GPA policies. If your school uses a different scale, compare the calculator's result with your school's official grading policy.
Junior High GPA Calculation Example
Suppose a student has three courses, each worth 1 credit:
| Course | Grade | Grade Points | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math | A | 4.00 | 1 |
| Science | B | 3.00 | 1 |
| English | A- | 3.70 | 1 |
The total grade points are 10.70 and the total credits are 3. Therefore:
The student's GPA is approximately 3.57 on this standard 4.0 scale.
