Hey, I graduated from high school a while ago, and I need to find my GPA for a job application. Any ideas on how I can access my high school transcripts or calculate my GPA after graduation?
6 months agoYou have a few options to find your high school GPA after graduation:
1. Contact your high school directly: The most reliable way to obtain your GPA is to reach out to your high school's registrar or guidance office. They should have a record of your academic performance, including your transcripts and GPA. Give them a call or send them an email requesting your transcripts.
2. Check online: Many high schools use online platforms for students to access their academic records, such as Naviance, Infinite Campus, or PowerSchool. If your high school used one of these platforms, you might still be able to log in and see your transcripts and GPA. They might have a transcript request feature, or you can find your GPA in your profile.
3. Calculate it manually: If you have report cards or a list of your final grades for each class, you can try to calculate your GPA manually. Unweighted GPAs usually follow a basic 4.0 scale, where A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0. Multiply each grade by the respective number of class credits, add up the sum of all the products, and then divide it by the total number of credits.
For a weighted GPA, you will need to account for additional points assigned to AP, Honors, or other advanced classes. Typically, an A in AP or IB classes may count for 5 points, while an A in Honors classes counts for 4.5 points. The exact scale varies by school, so it's essential to know your high school's policy.
Keep in mind that calculating your GPA manually may not be as accurate as obtaining the official transcripts from your high school. It's always best to contact your high school or use online platforms if possible to ensure the most accurate information.
