She probably took a full load of AP courses and perhaps the school grades on some modified 5 point scale overall? Our HS scores AP coursework on a 5 point scale and non-AP on the regular 4 point scale, so GPAs rise accordingly.

Our district has elementary K-4, intermediate 5-6, middle 7-8 and high school 9-12. They even go so far in the intermediate school to keep the 5th and 6th grades in separate wings of the building, and they only interact during all-school assemblies. A neighboring district has 6th grade only buildings.
