https://nypost.com/2026/07/14/us-news/florida-students-historic-11-99-gpa-triggers-district-policy-overhaul/ Steinbrenner High valedictorian (Hillsborough County, FL) finished with an 11.99 weighted GPA. He took 20 APs and 24 dual enrollment courses, earned an associate's degree alongside his diploma, and is headed to Duke. Genuinely incredible. How is 11.99 even possible? The district had no cap on weighted GPA and gave big bonuses for AP and dual enrollment. Now they're changing the formula, partly because colleges were already recalculating these numbers anyway. Which is the real takeaway: the GPA on your transcript usually isn't the one colleges use. Most recalculate. Anyone else's district have uncapped weighting like this?
