I prefer self-learning. The course I'm taking has nothing to do with the aforementioned.

I'm from A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, my average was 87 if i remember correctly. I only 2/5 way through second semester, so only 4 courses have been done. 87 is average of those 4 courses plus Data Management which i took in Gr.11 which was 87.
