Usually every "A" you receive on a report card is allocated 4 points every "B" 3 points, "C" 2 points "D" 1 point "F" (fail) 0 points

The total is then divided by the number of courses for which you received a grade, and the result is the grade point average. Thus if you took six courses and received a "B" in each, you would have 18 points, divided by the six courses for a 3.0 grade point average.

Of course if you took six courses, got 2 "A"s 2 "B"s and 2 "C"s you would still have 18 points divided by the six courses and, once again, a grade point Average of 3.0.

That's why it's called a GPA, or Grade Point AVERAGE. A GPA 3.0 is referred to as a "B" average, it doesn't mean you got a "B" in every course, but it was the AVERAGE value of the letter grade you received

How do you know your grade pointe average?

you add up all the grade totals and divide that number by the number of grades. A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0 For example if your child received 3 A's and 4 B's you will calculate it like this: 4+4+4+3+3+3+3= 24 then you divide 24 by 7(number of grades) the average is a 3.4 which is the grade point average. =)
