Weighted GPA is used by high schools to display a student's accomplishments based on the work achieved during a class or the type of class taken. Students take Honors, AP, Dual Enrollment, or career driven classes receive higher GPA points because it is based on a weighted scale. Regular high school classes are weighted on a 4.0 GPA scale and Honors classes are weighted on a 4.5 GPA scale. Which leaves Dual Enrollment, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate classes to be weighted on a 5.0 GPA scale.
