Question re: weighted GPA in the scattergrams and other college admissions data--does GPA refer to final graduating GPA or only through junior year of HS? For example, Naviance shows my current junior has a 4.25 through sophomore year but he is taking more AP classes this junior year that should raise it over 4.30. And next year he is taking 5 APs which could raise his weighted GPA even further. So not sure how he stacks up against previous applicants from his HS...

That is what generally happens. Students' GPAs increase over the years. So, comparing an end of sophomore year GPA to an end of senior GPA- you need the figure out the trajectory your DC is on to see "apples to apples". The lower the GPA the higher the jump IME. For example, my older DC had a 3.65 weighted at the end of sophomore year and graduated with a 3.99 at the end of senior year. My younger DC had a 4.25 at the end of sophomore year and should graduate with a 4.43.

It depends on the school. One of my kids goes to TJ and the scattergram GPAs are final, end of senior year GPAs. But for my other kid at our base school the GPAs are from end of junior year. You'll need to ask your counseling dept.

Dumb question: where can I find my HS kid's GPA on FCPS ParentVue or Family Connection Naviance? For the life of me, I can't find it. I don't see it under report card or grade book. And when I look at the scattergrams for individual colleges, no GPA shows up. He's a junior.
