Yes, it's included in the MCPS GPA. But colleges will often recalculate GPAs, excluding classes like PE and electives. |

It is included by MCPS. All high school courses are included. Here is the relevant MCPS regulation: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/ikcra.pdf |

MCPS includes it yes. Some colleges do their own calculations others do not. |

| Yes. It is included in the GPA. Colleges may choose to recalculate the grades using only core subjects. |

| It is the only class required by MCPS that has no honors version. Some kids wait till last semester senior year to take it so it will not bring down their GPA with a max score of 4.0 |

It also makes Sr year easier. It makes no difference to colleges that PE is an unweighted course. |

Yes, colleges have their own alchemy for how they weigh grades - and schools. |

That's not true. Algebra I has no honors version. |

Most MCPS kids take it in Middle School, which means the grade doesn’t have to be factored into the HS GPA. |
