Middle School GPA Calculator
Calculate grade point averages for middle school, junior high, and 6th-8th grade subjects.
Middle School Note: Most middle schools in the United States calculate GPA using an unweighted 4.0 scale with equal weight per subject, though some junior high academies track semester credits. Use the toggle below to calculate with or without credit weights.
How was this GPA calculated?
Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by dividing total quality points earned by total credit hours attempted:
Each course earns quality points equal to its credit hours multiplied by its numeric grade point value (e.g., 3 credits × 4.0 for an A = 12.0 quality points).

Do Middle School Grades Count for High School or College?
In general, middle school grades do not appear on your official high school transcript or factor into your college admissions cumulative GPA.
High School Credit Courses Taken in 8th Grade
If you took high-school-level courses in 8th grade (such as Algebra I, Geometry, or Spanish I), some school districts transfer those credits and grades directly onto your high school transcript.

Tracking GPA in middle school helps students prepare for the academic rigor and transcript requirements of high school honors and AP classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
A 3.4 on a 4.0 scale is mathematically between a B and B+ average. The interpretation depends on your institution, major, and academic goals. Dean’s List requirements and scholarship thresholds vary by school, so check your institution’s specific policies.
A 3.0 GPA is a B average. Many institutions require at least a 2.0 for good academic standing and graduation, so a 3.0 exceeds that threshold. Scholarship eligibility and graduate program requirements vary by institution and program.
General 6th, 7th, and 8th grade courses are not reported on official high school transcripts. However, if a middle school student completes accredited high school courses such as Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology, or high school foreign languages, those specific grades and credits typically carry over to the high school record and cumulative GPA.
Unlike universities and high schools where courses carry differing credit hours (like 0.5 or 1.0 credit per term), middle schools usually treat all classes equally. Each letter grade is converted to its 4.0 numeric point equivalent, and the sum is divided by the total number of classes.
While college admissions committees do not review 7th or 8th grade transcripts, 8th grade mathematics and language arts performance dictates whether a student qualifies for Honors and AP tracks in 9th grade. Access to advanced high school coursework directly influences cumulative weighted GPA and class rank later on.
