Hey guys! I sometimes see various GPAs listed for an A-, does anyone know the typical GPA score for an A- in high school? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! While different high schools might have slightly different grading scales, most high schools in the United States assign a GPA of 3.7 for an A-. Here's a very general GPA scale for reference:
- A+ = 4.3 (not common in all schools)
- A = 4.0
- A- = 3.7
- B+ = 3.3
- B = 3.0
- B- = 2.7
- C+ = 2.3
- C = 2.0
- C- = 1.7
- D+ = 1.3
- D = 1.0
- D- = 0.7
- F = 0
Keep in mind that this can vary depending on the grading policy at your school, and some schools might even use a different scale (e.g., some might assign 3.67 or 3.5 to an A-). To be sure about your specific school's grading scale, you should check with your school counselor or consult your school's documentation.
