[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the admissions committee see the grades of all classes or just the core classes they use to calculate the MS GPA?  Does the committee see individual class grades?[/quote]

If your child is scoring A grade 93-100% then GPA will be 4.0[/quote]

How do they calculate 7th grade GPA and 8th grade 1st quarter grade? Is it a simple mean with equal weightage? For example, Math GPA for 7th grade is A- and 8th GPA 1st quarter is A, the total GPA for Math is 3.85[/quote]

7th grade marks carry a full credit (for the full year) and 1st Quarter 8th grade marks carry a quarter credit (.25 for the quarter of the year). [/quote]

thank you, but I missing something here.. earlier posts indicated 3.995 as average GPA for students admitted in 2022. So I am not sure how that came about if it is not weighted average. [/quote]

It's 3.95, according to the FCPS press releases.  It's not weighted.  What it means is that most of the kids accepted to TJ had straight As in 7th grade and through the first quarter of 8th grade.  This is not surprising, since MS grades are inflated and pretty much every above average kid who puts in a modicum of effort gets As.[/quote]
