Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate GPA in middle school?
Turn each subject’s letter grade into points (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0), add them up and divide by the number of subjects. An A, a B+, an A−, a B and an A give 18.0 ÷ 5 = 3.60.
Does middle school GPA matter?
It does not appear on college applications, but some high schools use middle school grades for placement in Honors classes or for selective programs. It is also good practice for tracking grades in high school.
What if my school does not use plus and minus?
Choose “Whole letters only” as the grade scale. Every A then counts as 4 and every B as 3.
What does the weight column do?
Leave it at 1 for every subject if they all count the same. If your school gives some subjects more weight — for example a double-period class — give that subject a 2.
How it works
Middle school GPA is usually a straight average: every subject counts once. The calculator turns each letter into grade points on the scale you pick and divides by the number of subjects. The five subjects above give 18.0 points ÷ 5 = 3.60, an A−/B+ average.
| Subject | Grade | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Language Arts | A | 4.0 |
| Math | B+ | 3.3 |
| Science | A− | 3.7 |
| Social Studies | B | 3.0 |
| Spanish | A | 4.0 |
| Average | 3.60 |
Moving up to high school
High school GPA adds credits and, often, extra points for Honors and AP classes. The high school GPA calculator handles both.
What this calculator assumes
- Every subject counts once unless you change its weight.
- Grades convert on the scale you pick; the standard scale is The Princeton Review’s table.
