GRADING & GPA
Transcript legend and calculation
Unweighted GPA equals the sum of grade points multiplied by attempted credits, divided by GPA-bearing attempted credits. Grades do not use plus/minus. Approved P/F courses earn credit but do not affect GPA.
Honors courses add 0.5 quality points per credit for weighted GPA only: A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5, F=0. The transcript reports weighted and unweighted cumulative GPA. All attempts remain visible; transfer credit is normally excluded from Kiwi Academy GPA.
