Do Final GPA calculate quarter or semester grades in the Final Grade?

If I receive an A(100%) in the first quarter, however a B(80%) makes the semester average a 90%, will that be considered?

Hi @3Stacks,

My understanding is that quarterly grades are more of a progress check and that most high schools only count the grades at the end of the semester towards your GPA. I would double check with your counselor and teachers to be sure.

In particular, ask them what goes on your transcript, as this is the document the colleges will see in regards to your grades. You also usually only input semester grades into application portals like the Common App.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
