[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your high schooler doing with GPA?  Did it vary from year to year?
What is considered a "good" GPA, weighted and unweighted?
How many kids are taking all Honors/AP and have a 4.0 unweighted GPA?
I know FCPS includes electives and PE in the GPA, but what do you think?  Are these elective non-language courses important?[/quote]

In general, the GPA increases each year if the student gets the same grades because he/she takes more APs junior and senior years and Honors freshman and sophomore years.   Students do have normal ups and downs that also change their GPA.

In DC's graduating class this year, about 100 out of ~480 had 4.0 or higher as that is the threshold for an award.  This was helped by a bump up in senior year.  I noticed that teachers tended to grade harder sophomore and junior years and much easier senior year- especially after 2nd quarter (AP physics C being the exception)   Naviance is based on the final GPA so subtract a bit.  DC's GPA went from ~3.8 to just shy of 4.0 from end of junior year to end of senior year. [/quote]
