Taking good classes makes up for lackluster grades.

How hard is your schedule?

United States
Classical five-point discrete evaluation is the system most commonly used in the United States, but there are many variations. There are also a few schools that eschew discrete evaluation (letter grading) in favor of pure discursive evaluation.
Here is a common example of an American quality index, showing letter grade, qualitative definition, and correlative quantitative value:
A = Excellent or Superior; or top 10% (90 to 100) = 4.0
B = Above Average; or second 10% (80-89) = 3.0
C = Average; or third 10% (70-79) = 2.0
D = Below average, minimum passing grade (60-69); or fourth 10% = 1.0
E/F (or any of a number of other symbols) = Failure or Exceptionally Poor; or bottom 60% (0-59) = 0.0

Gee, thanks for explaining what I already know...

The average grades kids get, at least around here, is not a C though. Therefore, a C is not average

Well whatever, why shouldn't he be disappointed in an average grade? I mean it's better than academic probation, but it doesn't look great in comparison with other college-bound students unless it comes in a challenging course.

Yes.  I took too little classes so when I failed too it brought my GPA .04 too low.

I skipped English 5 times and failed because of that. I didn't do my quizzes in calc because they required IE and when I did go try to do them with my PC the site wouldn't work.

I think I finished the semester with a 3.8, which is what I've had for the last two years. The lowest grade was a B in New Testament, but I don't consider that a real class.
