How significant is the grade inflation at my school? It seems to be much higher compared to last year, but I’m not sure if they’ve officially implemented any new grading systems yet. Does that mean my 5.086 GPA is basically devalued? 😠I’m still ranked 18th in my class, so I hope that still means something. How does your school handle GPA?

As for my school, we have a weighted GPA system where advanced classes give extra points, but it’s always a work in progress to ensure fairness. It can be frustrating, but try to focus on the skills and knowledge you’re gaining, rather than just the numbers. How do you feel about your classes and the effort you’re putting in?
