Just went there and see the GPA as shown (for a single year so far) appears to be 0.05 low - not a whole lot but I'd think this should be rather...you know...accurate. If the calculation ACTUALLY is wrong by the school system, this could have wider ramifications than simply my own kid's grades. I emailed a query about it.
[I don't see how the calculation could have been wrong EXCEPT if the software that computes this is doing something like a running average (take grade, add grade, divide by two, take next grade, add to prior results, divide by two, etc) rather than summing-then-averaging (add up all grades, divide by number of grades, done)]
