Add each class with its letter grade and level. Add past years’ classes too to get your total GPA.

HCPSS scale: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, E = 0. Weighted adds +1 for AP / IB and +0.5 for Honors / GT on A, B, and C. Every class counts the same. Letters are the whole letter on your transcript (an A- counts as an A). A class percent is rounded to a whole number first, so 89.5 is an A.

Follows HCPSS Policy 8020 (summer 2026). Other districts use different rules, so check with your counselor. Nothing here changes your real grades.
