The Weighted GPA
Certain BVSD courses, determined by school board policy, are identified as relatively difficult and given weighted credit.
How does the weighted process work?
The weighted GPA is calculated using one additional quality point per letter grade in a weighted class. Only the GPA is affected; the grade itself is not changed on the report card or on the transcript. For example, a “B” in a weighted class is listed as a B, but it counts for 4 points per credit instead of the 3 points per credit it would count for in an unweighted class. (The complete weighted grade scale is: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, F=0.)
