A GPA (grade point average) is a figure used primarily in the US education system that corresponds roughly to a grade point average. It is based on the US grading system, whereby each individual grade is assigned a point value and these point values are used to calculate a weighted arithmetic mean, the grade point average. The best GPA is usually 4.0.
