The math is incorrect here. With 11APs weighted gpa has to be higher if unweighted is 4.0
The spread between unweighted and weighted has to be larger. So one of these numbers are incorrect.

And this is exactly why ppl won't post here. You have the most unhelpful bored moms here looking to dissect and criticize everything.
At this point, we are better off not sharing any of the wisdom gleaned about our kids or their stats.
why would we?

Might be a dad. Don't be sexist.

They are moms.
