Description

Sentry Feedback: TRENDS-62

The median GPA can be improved to display A+. Right now, it seems like the code converts each letter into a number, finds the GPA from the numbers, and then converts that back into a letter. If the median GPA actually fell in A+, the number it's converted into becomes 4, which is converted into A during number->letter. Some classes have a categorical median of A+, but you have to manually notice it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the GPA conversion functions that map letter grades to numbers and back. Identify where the A+ grade is being collapsed into A (value 4) and modify the logic to preserve the A+ distinction in the median calculation.
