Grade Point Average

Grade Point Average (GPA) is a number that shows how well a student is doing in school overall. It’s calculated by averaging all their grades, usually on a scale from 0 to 4.0. For example, straight A’s might give you a 4.0, while a mix of A’s and B’s could be a 3.5. In short, it’s a way to measure academic performance in one simple number.
