How to use the junior high GPA calculator

Enter each class (for example Math, English, Science and Social Studies), choose the grade from A to F, and leave credits at 1 unless your school gives some classes more weight.

Middle schools usually don't weight classes, so this jr high GPA calculator uses the plain 4.0 scale: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0.

Heading to high school? The High School GPA Calculator adds plus/minus grades and weighted Honors and AP classes. See all Grade & GPA Calculators.

How middle school GPA works

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)

If every class has the same credit, your GPA is simply the average of your grade points.

Some middle schools use plus/minus grades. If yours does, the high school version handles them.

Illustrative example

Example: a junior high GPA

Grades of A in Math, B in English, A in Science and B in Social Studies give (4 + 3 + 4 + 3) ÷ 4 = 3.50.
