Mt. Zion High School uses an "Add-On" system to calculate GPA using weighted grades.  To compute GPA for weighted grades, first calculate the student's GPA using the traditional 4.0 scale.  Then, for each year-long weighted course that the student passed, add .04 to the GPA.  For each semester-long weighted, passed course, add .02 to the calculated GPA.
