Technically it is possible...at least at my high school it was. What happened at my high school was that everyone who got higher than a 4.0 (like me) took a lot of AP classes. What we were told was that for every pre-AP class you got 8 extra points, and for every AP class you got 10 extra points. So if your GPA said that you got a 100 in AP English, they add the 10 points so it becomes a 110.
So a lot of us (especially who were the top 10 people) had GPA of 3.999999-4.5ish.
But I do know that there are schools in the country that go on a 5.0 scale.
