The Kolbe Academy GPA is calculated using the semester grades from academic coursework only. An academic course comes from an academic subject area such as theology, literature, history, math, etc. High school academic courses such as these receive 1 credit per year, or .5 credit per semester. Both a semester GPA and cumulative GPA are indicated on the transcript. The grades from each semester are given a grade point value on the 4.0 scale:
Grade | GPA | Percent |
---|---|---|
A+ | 4.0 | 97 - 100 |
A | 4.0 | 93 - 96 |
A- | 3.7 | 90 - 92 |
B+ | 3.3 | 87 - 89 |
B | 3.0 | 83 - 86 |
