Is an F GPA Good?
An F GPA is insufficient to graduate. The national average GPA is a B, so if you’re planning to graduate, you have a lot of work ahead of you.
For high school students
You are failing in your studies with an F GPA. If you don’t have plenty of time left before you graduate, you may have to attend school an extra year or consider obtaining your GED.
For college students
With an F GPA, you're probably not even eligible for academic probation. It may be time to consider the workforce or re-evaluate your college goals.
How Can I Raise My GPA?
Unless you are in the early semesters of your high school or college program, it will be nearly impossible to raise an F GPA into an above-average range. Even then, you will need to prioritize your studies until your GPA becomes acceptable.
Turn in assignments fully completed and on time.
Share your situation with your instructors, and ask what you can do to make up work.
Participate actively in class.
