It is actually a very reliable measure of achievement but it fails to consider: * Outside interests and achievements in Clubs, student government, sports, community outreach activities, cultural interests, band, orchestra, dramatics, public service and the quality and nature of the courses studied. * It fails to measure the student's real world experience when they are required to support themselves to achieve an education. * Ergo: while it measures achievement, it does not measure IQ or the potential for success in the future.

Weighted GPA awards students that take easy, high level courses or who have easy teachers. The same credit is awarded to the student that gets an A in AP Psycology as the student that gets an A in AP Calculus (a much more difficult class)

Unweighted GPA awards students that take very easy classes. As long as you earn an A in all of your unweighted classes, even if they are all low level, you can be valedictorian
