Importance of Grades
How is this important for a 6th – 12th grade student?
For a middle and high school student, a 2.0 GPA is typically a “C Average” student and is considered a dividing line which separates eligible and ineligible students for extracurricular activities like sports, participation in after-school events, and the ability to attend certain functions.
For high school students looking to enter a competitive college/university, especially in the CSU/UC system, the higher the student’s GPA will need to be. Students’ GPAs will be compared down to the thousandth place (e.g. 3.167).
