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.
