Question about my GPA?

I'm a sophomore in high school now and my GPA as of now (i'm 3/4 of the way into the year) is a 5.59

Is that good? I always thought my GPA was higher and when i found out i was really disappointed...is it possible for me to make my GPA a 3.7 or 3.8 by senior year? And also is my GPA now good, bad, decent? thanks

Update:

sorry i didnt mean a 5.59..i meant 3.59

A 5.59 isnt even possible...

    GPA is on a 4.0 scale. Your high school is obviously weighting classes, and since they all do it differently there's no way to tell what your real GPA is. You need to go back and recalculate it.

    EDIT: Ah, ok. Assuming you get all A's from now on, and take the same number of credits every semester, you can have at most a (3.59 * 7 + 4.0 * 5) / 12 = 3.76 GPA when applying to colleges.

    Are you talking about a 4 or 5 scale? At our school, we have a 5 scale, so taking honors and ap classes make a HUGE impact on how high your gpa gets.

    What I would recommend (I'm a junior) is to take honors and ap classes, and take 4.0 classes as a pass fail so they don't affect your gpa. I did that for art this year, so my gpa will be counted off of all 5.0 classes this semester. yes! :) hope this helped!

    my gpa= 4.59

    That is a good GPA. If you want to increase it to a 4.0, which is the highest, you have to make straight A's.

    All A's on all of your tests. Good Luck!

    Yeah, it's possible, you just have to put a lot of work into school. That's like having, straight A's with on B or two B's, depending on how many classes you have.
