Some schools don’t allow students to take a lot of classes because more students that graduate early is less money the school gets for those students. It sucks but that’s the reason a lot of schools don’t allow it.
Extremely impressive, but I think they should have mentioned how the GPA is calculated. Each school has a different system. For example, my school had like four different GPA's but the one used for rank went up to 18. The only way to actually get an 18 is for every single class you take to be a college-level course and to get a +97% in every class every semester for the entire four years. The valedictorian usually graduated with around 16.4, but one year we had somebody in the 17's because he took college courses as a freshman.
@@samuelgunter yeah, you literally cannot get above a 4.6 i think here,like it wouldnt matter if you got straight As on everything and took a thousand college courses, they just dont grade higher than that.
Not sure how is high school weighted system works. The highest anyone can achieve at my daughter’s high school is a 4.5 weighted. His school must give extra points for all the college classes he’s been taking. This guy sounds like an overachiever with a very brilliant mind, he will go far!!

I go to high school in Florida and the way it works for me is we have certain mandatory classes like HOPE (Physical Education) which doesn’t come in weighted. So everyone must take that class, eh ih lowers the weighted GPA, and the more and more weighted classes you take will get you closer to the 5.0 max but never exact.
Hey, Im a high school student, unweighted classes are regular & such. Honors, Advanced, and AP are weighted. So the max possible GPA possible unweighted is 4.0, while an honors class can give you 4.5, AP however can get you up to 5.0 if im not mistaken. He must’ve took mostly AP for most if not all of his high school years.
That's a weighted* GPA. Nonetheless, this lad probably took on multiple college courses on top of his high school load to get it up there. When I was in high school our valedictorian had a 7.4 weighted GPA in the IB program.
@@hayleygrimes8804 The AP/IB courses give you 2 bonus points added to your GPA if you have an A or B grade in the course. Honors courses give you 1 bonus point. So if you had a 3.5 unweighted* GPA in a AP course you have a 5.5 weighted GPA in that course. The only way to get it above a 6.0 weighted GPA is take more college courses either through dual enrollment at your local community college or just taking AP courses online through Florida Virtual School. I have seen high school seniors knock their 1st semester or year of college out by way of passing so many AP/IB exams they get enough college credits to fulfill 1 semester of college.

Either way, not the kids fault what system he is on but he is clearly a brilliant over achiever if he has the highest ever in his school. Can’t wait to see his future achievements
A weighted average is an average where some data points have a bigger impact than others. A weighted GPA means taking a rigorous class will bring a weighted GPA up higher than a regular unweighted GPA for the same grade. This is calculated differently in different school districts but every school in the US uses a weighted and unweighted GPA from what I’ve seen. The high GPA means this kid took a lot more rigorous classes with higher grades than anyone in this kid’s school and state.
@@lindensalter6713 I'm very familiar with how weighted and unweighted GPAs work. Honors, AP/IB, and college credited classes add at most 1 to 2 points above the normal 4.0. A student who exclusively enrolls in AP/IB courses since freshman year and earns all A/A+ will have an unweighted 4.0 and a weighted 5.0/6.0. I've never heard of a 12.0 GPA scale that adds 7 or 8 points for an accelerated course. Unless, of course, the whole school is graded on a 12.0 system and their "4.0" when normalized is equivalent to D average. Which still makes his 11.84 GPA stellar, but normal nonetheless among the nation's high achieving students.
Same:( we’re all gifted in other areas. Don’t feel bad tho! Mental health and stress is more important than any college course. I had 4 classes and dropped out of 3 because of my OCD. Oh well next year I’ll graduate
A lot of people are hating in the comments, not because of the kid himself but bc of this "fantasy" education system that florida has that allows you to get ur GPA that high.

@@thedirtybubble9613 no lol. Depends on your field of study and whether your major is in demand. Don’t give in to the business scam that you have to go to college to be employable
The maximum at my high school was 4.5 with the additional credits added for AP and slightly less for honors courses. Regardless of how many As you had in these courses, 4.5 was max. There needs to be a commonality between high schools.
No disrespect to this kid but this doesn’t impress me. There’s other kids having to go to work to make ends meet w their family and yet they still find a way to succeed in their classes.
Exactly, there’s nothing impressive about this, and he did not demonstrate he actually mastered the topics in his courses. It’s easy to get by just memorizing processes.
@@thedirtybubble9613 I am not jealous. I do not care. I have a high GPA and HPA. You don't even know me. I just know when things are not possible and when they are. This is obvious propaganda.
First of all, some schools offer more classes and more weighted classes than other schools so there shouldn’t be a record gpa. And There will always be a kid in a high school were they take advantage of everything offered to them. Furthermore students shouldn’t focus too much on gpa and also give time to things that they enjoy. Edit: this has nothing to do with kid on the video. But it has to do with Record GPA system. But I am very impressed by the kid and the fact that he took advantage of every class that was offered to him.
This sounds like someone making excuses for their own GPA. The kid did great. Good for him. If he has that sort of drive to accomplish what he's accomplished and it makes him happy, that's all that matters.
most people aren't capable or willing to put that much effort into those classes, while your saying some schools don't have more weighted classes, there are ton of other schools that do, and nobody achieved what he achieved.
@@wvops2264 I find that unlikely, it is possible. But a lot of times, they enjoy getting a High GPA of weighted class then actually enjoy the class itself. For example I took AP biology and I took it cause I loved biology and there was a chance I would major in it. But everyone else in that class took biology to get some GPA boost. But they all hated that class.
@@BonafiedYT true, but you never know. I seen a lot of poor districts with smart kids who are unable to take classes they would love to take because their school doesn’t offer it. For example A kid at our school was so intelligent that he took Honors Pre-calculus as a freshman and AP calculus AB as a sofomore. The highest math class we could take at my school was geometry as freshman but he took Pre-calculus because he was so smart, that he had to appeal to our school board of education and they said yes. When he finished 10th grade. Our school offered no more Advanxed classes for math cause we only offered Calc AB and Statistics. And that was it. So he couldn’t take a math class at our school for grade 11th and 12th. If we did offer more classes, he would have finished calculus 1,2, and 3 in his high school years.
If he’s taking 14 classes a semester, and started college in 8th, how has he not graduated yet? And then an 11.84 GPA? No college I’ve ever heard of goes past a 4.5. All these numbers don’t add up… Maybe a 10 at his school means an A?
Cause college isn’t free Gotta get those free college credits while young and the government pays Tuition is crazy these day don’t ya know in the US college isn’t free
Yeah you're right, it is pretty uncommon but some schools use the 12.0 GPA scale. I am pretty sure he goes to a school that uses this, but I might be wrong :)
@@thedirtybubble9613 yeah but to my understand isn’t two GPAs are calculated separately? I mean sure if it is to say oh he’s got 3.98/4 for both high school and college at the same time. But what does 11.84 supposed to mean, like 11.84 out of 4.00? If so then they way they are measuring his gpa does not make a lot of sense to me.
@@shangxiao871 No so 11.84 is a weighted GPA but the unweighted GPA is still based on a scale of 0.0 - 4.0. In theory, this kid with the 11.84 weighted GPA had something like a 3.98 - 4.00 unweighted GPA overall. Here in Florida, if you take multiple AP/IB courses you get 2 bonus points applied to your course GPA (IF you have an A or B in the course). So If you had, say, a 3.5 unweighted GPA in the course, that means you had a 5.5 weighted GPA. Of course, AP courses are a lot more difficult and way more work than your regular classes so you really earn it by working extra harder. So let's say you had 4 AP courses in your senior year and you earned all A's in them. You have a total of 6 classes. Your weighted GPA for that term is probably going to be around a 5.0 - 5.4. The way to do the math for calculating your weighted GPA is to add 2 bonus points to your GPA in the course (IF it's an AP/IB course), add all the points up and then divide by the # of classes you are taking. Hence, Grade Point Average is just the average of your points.
@I Yup for some school districts it may be different. At least in the Miami-Dade school district, from years past when I was in high school from 2004-2008, they gave you 1 bonus point for Honors courses and 2 points for AP/IB courses.
The weighting system at Gaither is set so that each semester of an honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment class gives a weighted bonus. For each semester of an honors course, a student gets +0.04 GPA. For AP and DE, it goes to +0.08 per semester. This means that the weighted GPA is dependent on how many semesters a student took of advanced high school or college courses and (whether they be taken while the student is on middle or high school). Any of this could be wrong, I'm just saying what I've heard.
i left freshman year with like a 0.8 gpa i think? that was pretty much the last year i completed a whole school year, but even then using the term "completed" is a stretch
Smart kid. I struggle to get all A’s and B’s in college, but I manage because work hard. Best advice I can give is ask for help, take advantage of tutoring, study for your quizzes like their exams and study for your exams like there finals.
The highest GPA you can get at my high school is TECHNICALLY a 5.0, but it's not even actually possible since there are some mandatory non-weighted classes
This guy look like an alternate universe of the guy on tiktok that does a prank and then tells the person do you get it, they answer yeah, then he just explains it again and then say what do you mean, but do you get it.
School isn’t hard, you just need to be willing to put in the work. Also gpa should be universal. I noticed in some of my college courses, they tend to all have different averages. Also, I think you should never forget to enjoy life. But to each their own. I also think that this is on a different scale other than the typical 4.0 because this story sounds like BS
It was useless to me comparing other people GPAs after being a grown adult and realizing all schools have different systems. Comparing his GPA to students who can’t even reach that high is just pointless lmao. And probably puts more stress on him
What is the GPA out of? I can't believe this isn't announced in the video. This makes my 4.33 look terrible but it's the max possible GPA at my university.
14 classes in a semester is bs lmao. Im calling cap unless the classes were easy af. Based on how little the reporter explained this, there’s probably a catch.
@@tutorialsimulator maybe if you took time to read my comment you wouldn’t have responded with “It’s not that hard”. Im not talking about the gpa. Im talking about taking 14 classes in one semester which was said in the video…
Just to let people know, it doesn’t matter what gpa score you have. No matter how high it is your not always gonna be the smartest in the room! Theirs tons of different types of knowledge and this man is better at school knowledge
In Florida AP classes give you 2 bonus GPA points if you have an A or B in the class. So it can actually go up to a 6.0 weighted. He took on 14 classes a semester to get the average higher.
@@thedirtybubble9613 actually no. it doesnt depend on the state, rather the county. i am a student in florida and your weighted gpa maxes out at 5.0, but that is because of what the county determines, not florida

It’s impossible to take 14 courses PER semester. It would make sense if it was 14 credits. And 11.84 GPA? How was that calculated? I think the reporter wasn’t doing their homework.
Some of the courses were done over the summer.
Actually I think it’s pretty possible: an old friend of mine was taking 9 courses all while juggling rotc/the army, fashion club and two other clubs & he worked as a lifeguard part-time
@@vansang8846 But summer is counted as a separate semester.
@@yungplaygurl9732 Did he also take full time high school in addition to the 9 courses and clubs? I just wonder how he can travel between those institutions and fit all the courses into the schedule if the high school day is from 7am to 3pm.
@@meijinhsiao5711 he was a junior in university, so no he wasn’t a high school student. However, my younger siblings are high school students and they take college courses as well. I forgot what the program is called but it lets you take basic college classes and at the end of the program( and when you graduate high school) you’ll have earned your associates degree, as well as your high school degree. The college courses counts as college credit and high school credit.
This news report doesn't explain the grading system at all? An average does not increase because of the number of values in the set. This must be that new Florida math under DeSantis. Regardless, this young guy has a bright future and should be proud of his achievements.
Either way, not the kids fault what system he is on but he is clearly a brilliant over achiever if he has the highest ever in his school. Can’t wait to see his future achievements
A weighted average is an average where some data points have a bigger impact than others. A weighted GPA means taking a rigorous class will bring a weighted GPA up higher than a regular unweighted GPA for the same grade. This is calculated differently in different school districts but every school in the US uses a weighted and unweighted GPA from what I’ve seen. The high GPA means this kid took a lot more rigorous classes with higher grades than anyone in this kid’s school and state.
@@lindensalter6713 I'm very familiar with how weighted and unweighted GPAs work. Honors, AP/IB, and college credited classes add at most 1 to 2 points above the normal 4.0. A student who exclusively enrolls in AP/IB courses since freshman year and earns all A/A+ will have an unweighted 4.0 and a weighted 5.0/6.0. I've never heard of a 12.0 GPA scale that adds 7 or 8 points for an accelerated course.
Unless, of course, the whole school is graded on a 12.0 system and their "4.0" when normalized is equivalent to D average. Which still makes his 11.84 GPA stellar, but normal nonetheless among the nation's high achieving students.
The program is new, it don’t think Desantis’s math program has anything to do with it….
congrats man, regardless of anything he put alot of effort into succeeding
Incredible how he can manage that many classes a semester. Then there’s me complaining about my 4 college classes
Same:( we’re all gifted in other areas. Don’t feel bad tho! Mental health and stress is more important than any college course. I had 4 classes and dropped out of 3 because of my OCD. Oh well next year I’ll graduate
@@areliroman3249 I appreciate that👍
Dudes going to a Florida high school,
Your 4 college classes are probably more complex with a larger workload.
Congratulations to this young man!
Congratulations young man 🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
A lot of people are hating in the comments, not because of the kid himself but bc of this "fantasy" education system that florida has that allows you to get ur GPA that high. Yes, this kid clearly put in all the hard work to get a 11.6 and its sure gonna pay off when he goes to MIT but in the end like everyone else he'll have a job, a house and a family and thats what matters
Congratulations
It's so great to see, a high achiever.
Colleges may look at gpa and sat but do employers care about that stuff. No
Well you gotta get into college first before getting employed, right?
@@thedirtybubble9613 no lol. Depends on your field of study and whether your major is in demand. Don’t give in to the business scam that you have to go to college to be employable
Congratulations!! I hope you accomplish great things! God bless
Great job! Young man! He’s gonna do some great stuff.
This kid is a special breed! Congrats too him!
The maximum at my high school was 4.5 with the additional credits added for AP and slightly less for honors courses. Regardless of how many As you had in these courses, 4.5 was max. There needs to be a commonality between high schools.
my school was 4.0 lol i feel cheated
No disrespect to this kid but this doesn’t impress me. There’s other kids having to go to work to make ends meet w their family and yet they still find a way to succeed in their classes.
Exactly, there’s nothing impressive about this, and he did not demonstrate he actually mastered the topics in his courses. It’s easy to get by just memorizing processes.
@@gopackgo4036 fr, school is honestly just a competition of who remembers the most information the longest
What have you done, you loser.
That's straight up hard work. I'm proud of him
This is great news! Congratulations to him. 🎉
I don't even think this is allowed or possible.
Same
@I I know it is. It would have to be.
You're just jealous is what it sounds like.
@@thedirtybubble9613 I am not jealous. I do not care. I have a high GPA and HPA. You don't even know me. I just know when things are not possible and when they are. This is obvious propaganda.
@@hayleygrimes8804 Propaganda? You sound like a Trump boot licker and a Karen.
Really nice appreciate his hard work 👍
Good for him! Congratulations buddy! 👏
Keep up the good work!
Dang I barely scrapped by with a 2.7😬 congrats young man!!!!!🙌👏👏👏👏
Me with my 4.8 thinking it was ok
The guy in the backround "good god" "jesus" haha
Dude takes how many classes? And I bet they’re not introduction courses either? What a champ. His time management is impeccable.
DAMNNNN!!!!! an 11.84 gpa I'm in shocked he's super smart
Wow that's great keep up the good work!
First of all, some schools offer more classes and more weighted classes than other schools so there shouldn’t be a record gpa. And There will always be a kid in a high school were they take advantage of everything offered to them. Furthermore students shouldn’t focus too much on gpa and also give time to things that they enjoy.
Edit: this has nothing to do with kid on the video. But it has to do with Record GPA system. But I am very impressed by the kid and the fact that he took advantage of every class that was offered to him.
This sounds like someone making excuses for their own GPA.
The kid did great. Good for him. If he has that sort of drive to accomplish what he's accomplished and it makes him happy, that's all that matters.
most people aren't capable or willing to put that much effort into those classes, while your saying some schools don't have more weighted classes, there are ton of other schools that do, and nobody achieved what he achieved.
What if they literally enjoy large workloads
@@wvops2264 I find that unlikely, it is possible. But a lot of times, they enjoy getting a High GPA of weighted class then actually enjoy the class itself. For example I took AP biology and I took it cause I loved biology and there was a chance I would major in it. But everyone else in that class took biology to get some GPA boost. But they all hated that class.
@@BonafiedYT true, but you never know. I seen a lot of poor districts with smart kids who are unable to take classes they would love to take because their school doesn’t offer it. For example A kid at our school was so intelligent that he took Honors Pre-calculus as a freshman and AP calculus AB as a sofomore. The highest math class we could take at my school was geometry as freshman but he took Pre-calculus because he was so smart, that he had to appeal to our school board of education and they said yes. When he finished 10th grade. Our school offered no more Advanxed classes for math cause we only offered Calc AB and Statistics. And that was it. So he couldn’t take a math class at our school for grade 11th and 12th. If we did offer more classes, he would have finished calculus 1,2, and 3 in his high school years.
Some people are smart in school and some are smart in life
If he’s taking 14 classes a semester, and started college in 8th, how has he not graduated yet? And then an 11.84 GPA? No college I’ve ever heard of goes past a 4.5. All these numbers don’t add up… Maybe a 10 at his school means an A?
Cause college isn’t free
Gotta get those free college credits while young and the government pays
Tuition is crazy these day don’t ya know in the US college isn’t free
Yeah you're right, it is pretty uncommon but some schools use the 12.0 GPA scale. I am pretty sure he goes to a school that uses this, but I might be wrong :)
just curious, but 11.84 out of what? 12? sorry but i only experienced 4.0 / 4.33 gpa systems during my undergrad and grad curriculum
He had to of taken numerous college courses on top of a high school load. In Florida they will allow you to do that. It's called Dual Enrollment.
@@thedirtybubble9613 yeah but to my understand isn’t two GPAs are calculated separately? I mean sure if it is to say oh he’s got 3.98/4 for both high school and college at the same time. But what does 11.84 supposed to mean, like 11.84 out of 4.00? If so then they way they are measuring his gpa does not make a lot of sense to me.
@@shangxiao871 No so 11.84 is a weighted GPA but the unweighted GPA is still based on a scale of 0.0 - 4.0. In theory, this kid with the 11.84 weighted GPA had something like a 3.98 - 4.00 unweighted GPA overall. Here in Florida, if you take multiple AP/IB courses you get 2 bonus points applied to your course GPA (IF you have an A or B in the course). So If you had, say, a 3.5 unweighted GPA in the course, that means you had a 5.5 weighted GPA. Of course, AP courses are a lot more difficult and way more work than your regular classes so you really earn it by working extra harder. So let's say you had 4 AP courses in your senior year and you earned all A's in them. You have a total of 6 classes. Your weighted GPA for that term is probably going to be around a 5.0 - 5.4. The way to do the math for calculating your weighted GPA is to add 2 bonus points to your GPA in the course (IF it's an AP/IB course), add all the points up and then divide by the # of classes you are taking. Hence, Grade Point Average is just the average of your points.
@I Yup for some school districts it may be different. At least in the Miami-Dade school district, from years past when I was in high school from 2004-2008, they gave you 1 bonus point for Honors courses and 2 points for AP/IB courses.
@@thedirtybubble9613 bruh in Texas, Dual Enrollment doesn't even count for highschool gpa
The weighting system at Gaither is set so that each semester of an honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment class gives a weighted bonus. For each semester of an honors course, a student gets +0.04 GPA. For AP and DE, it goes to +0.08 per semester. This means that the weighted GPA is dependent on how many semesters a student took of advanced high school or college courses and (whether they be taken while the student is on middle or high school). Any of this could be wrong, I'm just saying what I've heard.
14 classes! Good on you young man.
hope he goes far seems like a nice guy who doesn't care about money to much
This is why the HS grading system is stacked against again people who come from poorer households
Me with my 4
4.63 GPA: ………👁👄👁……Well that’s humbling
That’s awesome!!
Dam bro save some GPA for the rest of us!
Damn, I barely graduate high school. Good for him.
4.0 would be more impressive as it shows you have an actual grading scale.
I would love to see the grading, our valedictorian typically graduates with about a 5.4 out of 6.
i left freshman year with like a 0.8 gpa i think? that was pretty much the last year i completed a whole school year, but even then using the term "completed" is a stretch
This is awesome!
Smart kid. I struggle to get all A’s and B’s in college, but I manage because work hard. Best advice I can give is ask for help, take advantage of tutoring, study for your quizzes like their exams and study for your exams like there finals.
The highest GPA you can get at my high school is TECHNICALLY a 5.0, but it's not even actually possible since there are some mandatory non-weighted classes
One quarter @ Leilehua High, I achieved three A's and three B's. I wanted to do more, but the school work was too hard.
Work hard my boi you'll become huge
Great job!
What scale lets you have a gpa of 11.84? My school is on a 4.0 scale so you can't go above 4.0
They use a different scale where I’m from. 4.0 is perfect. Not sure what this means. Also I’m glad his hard work paid off.
He's gonna be a great Florida man
What’s a brilliant kid that’s incredible
This guy look like an alternate universe of the guy on tiktok that does a prank and then tells the person do you get it, they answer yeah, then he just explains it again and then say what do you mean, but do you get it.
Wow! That’s over double the points higher than possible at my school so he must be pretty smart
Blessed.
I really wish I could redo high school over and focused more on school then theater. I would have been way better in college. ❤️ congratulations
I have a 12 point GPA. I always get at least a 12 on all my tests.
Florida Man so crazy he’s got the best GPA ever.
School isn’t hard, you just need to be willing to put in the work. Also gpa should be universal. I noticed in some of my college courses, they tend to all have different averages. Also, I think you should never forget to enjoy life. But to each their own.
I also think that this is on a different scale other than the typical 4.0 because this story sounds like BS
What school did you get your degree?
That’s freaking impressive!!! Not me over here with a 3.5😭
Out of what?
@@Grassmpl what do you mean??
@@ariellexx4447 what is the GPA if you get perfect 100% in every course?
@@Grassmpl I think it is just a 4.00, so to get a higher gpa, you have to take extra classes and get extra credit.
I believe that the scale is different for this story. Instead of a 4.0 scale
That’s amazing
Congratulations
Wow and I’m proud of my daughters 4.0…. But I didn’t no it could get that high👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She still did good
It was useless to me comparing other people GPAs after being a grown adult and realizing all schools have different systems. Comparing his GPA to students who can’t even reach that high is just pointless lmao. And probably puts more stress on him
YES 💎💯💪🏾🙏🏾
The smartest story Florida has produced in a long time.
That GPA scale is misleading AF
Finally! A good story from Florida!
Dudes going to be a great employee lol
What is the GPA out of? I can't believe this isn't announced in the video. This makes my 4.33 look terrible but it's the max possible GPA at my university.
In the end your GPA doesn't really make you better than anyone else.
He must have borrowed Professor McGonagall’s time-turner
He’ll make a great star employee
Awesome!!!
Finally, some good news!
Unlike the constant bad news you keep bringing into the world
14 classes in a semester is bs lmao. Im calling cap unless the classes were easy af. Based on how little the reporter explained this, there’s probably a catch.
just search up the Hillsborough county gpa system or something, it's not that hard.
@@tutorialsimulator maybe if you took time to read my comment you wouldn’t have responded with “It’s not that hard”. Im not talking about the gpa. Im talking about taking 14 classes in one semester which was said in the video…
great! he will be a perfect employee knowing how to stay within the lines.
Just to let people know, it doesn’t matter what gpa score you have. No matter how high it is your not always gonna be the smartest in the room! Theirs tons of different types of knowledge and this man is better at school knowledge
11.84 is crazy
I wish I could be that smart
How did he get that GPA? I thought honors and AP classes counted as 5, so the max should be a 5.0 GPA?
Don’t worry, specific colleges calculate gpa differently.
Thats how it normally is, he probably has a rare grading scale and the reporter didnt do their research.
In Florida AP classes give you 2 bonus GPA points if you have an A or B in the class. So it can actually go up to a 6.0 weighted. He took on 14 classes a semester to get the average higher.
@@thedirtybubble9613 actually no. it doesnt depend on the state, rather the county. i am a student in florida and your weighted gpa maxes out at 5.0, but that is because of what the county determines, not florida
@@lovenoirrr Oh really. What county? In Miami-Dade county they max out at 6.0 with AP/IB courses.
