Did they get any P or NM for the 2020-2021 school year, the school year they passed everyone?

DP, Pass and No Mark
When the schools closed for COVID, there were options to change their grades to pass/fail, etc.

I don’t completely understand your post. Not everybody passed in 20–21 school year. They were actually plenty of board meetings where they shared grade distribution and we saw that students were failing. Are you talking about the 19–20 school year?

No, my kids got regular letter grades because their letter grades were good (A, A-). Some students had Cs and Ds and took the opportunity to change their grades to a P. Others had Fs and changed their grades to NM.

Are you the OP? If so, just worry about your own kids they seem like they’re doing fine.

F were replaced by NM.

If they were gettings D's or C's they could've replaced by P's.

students did failed but teachers did alll they could to pass them without passing them.

Yes. DS is a good student but distance learning was awful for him and his grades dropped. (He has ADHD/ASD). He took a few classes P/F.

He was rejected from 2 schools, waitlisted at 1, and accepted at 3.

He’s happy at the school he chose to attend and it’s all worked out for the best. The schools that rejected him would not have been a good fit anyway.

No, I'm not the OP. I was just trying to provide clarification since it appeared to me that some of the earlier PPs were confused.
