For those wondering CCSD is on a 5.0 scale (100 = 5.0, 92 = 4.2, 88 = 3.8 etc) from there AP classes are a 1.0 curve with honors being a 0.5 curve.

It depends on how many weighted classes (IB + AP) are offered - unfortunately, some schools offer more than others. It also depends on when you can take them. So, max GPAs vary from school to school
Three different scoring systems: IB Diploma Programme is scored 1-7. AP is usually on a 5.0 system. Unweighted normal GPA is 4.0/4.33 max. The IB-to-unweighted equivalent is 7=A+=4.33, 6=A=4.0, below that is B or

How this student got a 6.5 GPA? All the high schools in Las Vegas and around the country the GPA is 4.0. What is this a *&^shit. The school district is so bad that need to enhance a student with the highest GPA. Fights at the schools, a teacher was attacked, no teachers and now highest GPA of 6.5. Give my a break. It was a 4.0 and headed to Harvard University then was believable other wised no. Any High school student can go to Harvard with 4.0 GPA.
@@leticiaespino7004 that's not true. One class can only be worth up to 5 points, which is an A in a college-level course. Therefore, the grade point average cannot be above 5.

Good for her! All her own hard work coming out of CCSD. Well deserved!
Glad for her, not many people make it out of Las Vegas’ school system because ITS HORRIBLE, we need to do better 🙌🏼🔥

yeah true
the highest gpa you can truly get is a 4.0 this is the school district using an inflated gpa or a weighted gpa to say a 6.5
right, it is probably weighted, but she took a lot of APs to get it that high. All congrats to harvard acceptance, that is a worldly achievement! 👏👏
Awesome work! Congrats!!! Put education as a priority in Nevada!
That's why. Her parents were immigrants. The parents wanted her to succeed.

Congratulations I’m so proud of her!
She used the word “whilst” in the year 2022. That’s how you know. She is VERY sharp and educated.
Pronounced incorrectly though
SI SE PUEDE !!!! Que dios te bendiga !!!!
She alone made the Hispanics GPA in the State of Nevada up by bunches :x

Can someone explain how a gpa can go that high? In my school the max is 4-5 even if you take all the ap’s
GPA is a ridiculous metric of knowledge anyway
