Not yet. Below 2.0 often means academic probation at US colleges. Talk to an advisor and look at grade-replacement options. In high school, many students report weighted GPAs, so compare a 1.3 against unweighted numbers when you can (see weighted vs unweighted GPA). For the full set of benchmarks, see what is a good GPA.
