At my high school, if you were in the regular classes, the scale was:
93-100 = A = 4.0
85-92 = B = 3.0
78-85 = C = 2.0
70-77 = D = 1.0
Below 70 = F = 0.0
For high classes:
93-100 = A = 5.0
85-92 = B = 4.0
78-85 = C = 3.0
70-77 = D = 2.0
Below 70 = F = 0.0
For honors classes (there weren't very many of them):
93-100 = A = 6.0
85-92 = B = 5.0
78-85 = C = 4.0
70-77 = D = 3.0
Below 70 = F = 0.0
There were remedial classes too:
90-100 = A = 4.0
80-89 = B = 3.0
70-79 = C = 2.0
60-69 = D = 1.0
Some classes were only available at the regular level: religion, music, civics, foreign language, P.E., etc.
All of the core academic classes were divided by ability: math, science, English, literature, writing, history, etc.
A few random classes were avaible as honors: physics, AP biology, advanced calculus, etc.
So, everybody had at least some regular classes included in their GPAs, but only some students got the weighted grades in addition.
