I've been hearing different things about graduation requirements, and now I'm kinda stressed. What GPA do you need to maintain to make sure you graduate from high school? Is there a standard, or does it vary per school?
It's great that you're thinking ahead about graduation requirements! The minimum GPA needed to graduate can indeed vary from one school district to another, and often even from one school to another within the same district. Generally, a 2.0 GPA, which is a 'C' average, is a common minimum standard. However, some schools may have different requirements. It's important to note that individual classes may also have minimum passing grades that could be higher than the overall GPA needed to graduate.
To get the most accurate information, I would recommend checking your school's student handbook or website where graduation requirements are typically listed. Additionally, setting up a meeting with your school counselor can provide a personalized review of your status and help you understand what you need to achieve to graduate. Remember, your counselor is there to help you succeed!
