Yes. And you get more points for taking classes at Community College. And you get more points for taking Advanced Placement courses in high school. When my son graduated in the mid-2000’s, the top 20 in his class all had GPAs over 4. You get 5 points for an CC or an AP ‘A’. The top student in his class had actually dropped a CC course he was taking, in the middle of the last semester of his Senior year, because he was getting only a B. He wouldn’t have ranked 1st if he had continued in that course. That way of manipulation of the GPA is really common in high school. He played the game right and did end up with the top honor.

Otherwise you have the “students” taking the easy “cake courses” scoring higher than the ones taking the the harder courses. Cake courses are no higher than general math.
