Gradebook Options: GPA


GPA, or grade point average, is a numerical point value (i.e. 4.00) assigned to a student’s grade (i.e. A). The GPAs from multiple classes can be combined to produce a weighted, multi-class GPA. GPA can be displayed in certain charts and reports.

To edit GPA options:

  1. Choose Gradebook Options from the Edit menu and select the GPA tab.
  2. In the Grades column (on the left), enter all grades (i.e. A+) that are in use in your gradebook in all of your classes. These can be entered in any order.
  3. In the Point Values column (on the right), enter a numeric point (i.e. 4.00) value for each grade. Values must be between 0.00 and 10.00.

To set the weights used when multi-class GPAs are calculated:

  1. Choose Record from the Chart menu.
  2. Select the Classes tab.
  3. Edit the Class Weight for each class.

To display GPA in the Score (or other) chart:

  1. In the Score chart, press on the column title above the column of student names (or an adjacent column) and, from the menu that pops up, choose Add NEW Column. A new column with student names will appear. Note: this menu item will become disabled if the eight-column limit has been reached.
  2. Press on the new column’s title to bring up the menu again, but, this time, choose Main Grades->GPA. The printed Score chart report will include this column as well.


To display GPA in the Multi-class Gradesheet report:

  1. Choose Print from the File menu. From the Report menu, select Multi-class Gradesheet. Select the Options tab.
  2. Press on the Grade display menu and choose show as GPAs.
  3. To include a column with weighted, multi-class GPAs, turn on the Include Multi-class Avg. option.

To display GPA in the Student Progress report:

  1. Choose Print from the File menu. From the Report menu, select Student Progress.
  2. Under the Options tab, turn on the Include Student Title Data option.
  3. Open this option and from the Include menu, select GPA. To cause this to be a weighted, multi-class GPA, turn on the Include Multiple Classes (in each report) option.
