Instead, Ithaca High School calculates two cumulative grade point averages (weighted and un-weighted). 97-100 4.33 A+ 77-79 2.33 C+ Both are provided to colleges through the student’s high school transcript. 93-96 4.00 A 73-76 2.00 C The un-weighted GPA is computed as an average of nal course grades of all 90-92 3.67 A- 70-72 1.67 C- traditionally graded IHS courses. The weighted GPA is computed using an 87-89 3.33 B+ 68-69 1.33 D+ honor point scale, as shown in the charts below.
