Grades at School
Most American schools use letter grades to evaluate student performance. An “A” is the highest, “B” very good, “C” just average and “D” not very good. An “F” means that you have failed a course and must repeat it. For use in transcripts to colleges, these letter grades are turned into a numerical cumulative grade point average (GPA); 4.0 is the highest. Thus a person who has a 3.67 GPA has gotten mostly A's and some B's and has a good chance of getting into a competitive college.
