Is there a cap on MCPS GPA’s?

[Anonymous]

Just wondering? How high can the weighted GPA go in MCPS?

It must be below 5.0 at graduation because you eventually have to take a PE course which can’t be honors.

It's about 4.83 after required courses and HS credits for middle school honors math courses.

My senior has a 4.96 weighted

[Anonymous]

^^ 4.96 and took PE already before senior year. All DC’s senior year classes are weighted.

[Anonymous]

So where does a MCPS 4.96 end up going to college?

Remember under the grading system until this year, a 89.5 for Q1 and a 79.5 for Q2 was an A. This year it will be a B.

SERIOUSLY?? That is legitimately shocking to me. How did they justify an A under the old system?? That is some ridiculous grade inflation!!’ It really makes all these high weighted gpa’s meaningless and unimpressive.

At my daughters private school a 90-93 is a A-, not even an A

My nephew at Churchill has retaken most of his important courses over the summer for a new and better grade. Some summer classes are 2 weeks long. No record of the previous grade. It is a total scam.

Also most classes are labeled Hon.

what about on transcript? Better grades perhaps but what shows up in transcript? Let's say they retook first semester of Honors Biology over summer. Honors Bio sem 1 will be listed as having been taken after Sem 2 H Bio.
