[quote=Anonymous]MCPS school employee here. No idea why weighted GPA doesn't show up on report cards. It never has been in the 15 years I've worked in MCPS. Probably a dumb reason for keeping them off. Honors, AP, IB all worth 1 point more. So let's say your 9th grader takes these classes and gets these grades (with the point value in parenthesis): Honors Eng 9 - A (5) AP Government - B (4) Biology - C (2) Algebra 1 - B (3) Phys Ed - A (4) Ceramics - B (3) Band - A (4) Total: 25 25/7 = 3.57 wGPA And for good measure 3.28 unweighted GPA As for middle school classes, I don't know if any contribute to weighted GPA. As for what gives credit, typically it's if they take Algebra 1 or beyond in middle school. Also languages contribute. Not sure what else. Ask to speak to your kid's school's resource counselor and they can help.[/quote]
