Is this confirmed as true? That is much higher as 3.7 is the cut off for many colleges. Friends who worked in admissions for colleges even admit this.

No, it’s not true. However, this is DCUM where people lie about everything to try to make a point. Maret’s mean (average) GPA for graduating seniors has ranged from 3.59 (2021) to 3.70 (2023). The average GPA for the c/o 2024 is a 3.64.

So, the answer is 3.64, which is historically more typical for Maret.

Ok, so the average GPA for the last Maret graduating class (2023) was a 3.7 and I posted it was a 3.7 and yet I'm lying to make a point?
OK.

No, the average and most recent Maret GPA (c/o 2024) is a 3.64. You made it sound like a 3.70 is typical. It is not.

3.64 is still high

It’s high-ish, but there’s a noticeable difference between a 3.64 and a 3.70. I’m also not sure that a 3.64 is much higher than Sidwell’s average. However, it’s hard to tell since Sidwell doesn’t rank or calculate GPAs until junior year. Any Sidwell parents, with facts (not opinions) care to chime in?

It's all much higher than NCS. They have told us that the average is 3.5.
Sigh.
This can't be good.

Have you talked to NCS? Complaining here will do absolutely nothing! I’m starting to think you’re not really an Ncs parent because you should not really care what the entire grade’s gpa is but rather at this point you should know what your own daughters GPA is no? What matters is your daughters gpa. If it is a 3.5 then yes I would be worried.

That's a good point. My daughter's GPA is not a 3.5 but I have a younger daughter who does not do as well in school and I guess I worry that the school would allow teachers to get an average GPA of 3.5.
Yes, the junior class has been told that the classes' average GPA is a 3.5.

What does school say when you express these concerns???? You realize posting here does nothing??????

My older daughter is a junior. What's done is done. We (and everyone we know) did not realize the reality of deflated grades and college admissions until this year.
We always just figured it would "work out" and that colleges understood (and cared) about the rigor. My junior has decent grades (well above the average for the class) so she'll be ok. She's not going to HYP but she'll have options.

My younger daughter is in middle school. We like the middle school--it is kind and gentle and well run. We're going to move her before high school. My experience with NCS is that the administration is not receptive to any feedback
(probably because they get so much) and they are fully supportive about NCS' identity as a school with very difficult grading. The HOS said herself at a recent parent association meeting (to paraphrase) "our identity is to be a very rigorous schools with very hard grading".

Things won't change until they have a large percentage of a class fail to matriculate at competitive colleges. Maybe that will be this year, maybe next year, maybe never. Who knows. Admission results are always very cloudy at a school like this because there are plenty of hooked kids whose applications don't follow the "rules".... I.e. they have a sub 3.5 GPA but the parents have a connection somewhere so they call in a favor and the kid gets one admit WAY beyond their pay grade or those of their classmates (I.e. a top 50 admit with a 3.3 GPA). So for stats purposes NCS looks like a success for this student although ultimately it was a due to a favor called in by the parents in the 11th hour.

We had 2 girls graduate from NCS and currently in college, so recent experience. We decided to send our younger DC to a non-big3 school after going through the college process and dealing with applying to colleges with 3.4 GPAs from NCS. The grading is ridiculous. For example, college kid just called and said they got a score of 100 on an essay. Not one point off. Four years of english at NCS and only received an A the year they were taking it at STA. Every other year it was a B+ (usually an 88). So she is obviously well prepared for college, but the grading wears the girls down. They work so, so hard and my girls both said they never really felt smart until they went to college. I wanted something healthier for DC#3.

Where did your daughters get in with a 3.4? Not specific school but type or range?

I don’t want to out them, but I will say that being a legacy helped with their admissions. The range is exactly the type of school listed in this thread. Think Syracuse, Wake, Tulane, Bucknell, Denison, etc.

Wake is NOT a 3.4. Try a nothing less than a 3.8 in the past 3 years--even with ED.
I just wanted to clarify this as it's on my kid's list and some people think it's super easy but it's only an option for very top girls at NCS (or anywhere) these days.

This is not true. However Wake gives a lot of legacy/family preference.

Huh? I have SCOIR open right now. 3.8 is the lowest unhooked GPA accepted in 3 years. Plenty of others applied. Why are you making things up?
I don't particularly want to post stats online but I hate when people lie on here.

Calm down. Your previous post did not say “unhooked” and mine did reference legacy preference at Wake. “Hate” “lie” “make up”, so unnecessary.

If you are at NCS, you know that SCOIR does not include the stats of hooked kids that are clear outliers. My DD’s admission is not on SCOIR and she was a legacy. Her GPA was low compared to the other green checks on the scattergram.

[Anonymous]

The fact that a single poster keeps obsessing over and citing SCOIR is the reason that other schools don't let parents see SCOIR. You need to step away from your screen. You can cite SCOIR all you want but you are leaving out context and creating a misleading perception. My recollection, for instance is that SCOIR only shows dots for students who enter the information, so if the student does not enter it, it's not there. I am an NCS parent and can look at it too. You are disparaging teenage girls and stressing people out with one data point that they cannot refute. Just calm down and see how things shake out in a few weeks. It's a beautiful day. Go outside.

Kids going to Wake at our private aren’t the ones taking the top level classes-agree they have around 3.8 or so GPA but mid tier rigor levels.

https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1697637161/maret/cvhkhz1fyj0cei6s4emr/Maret-Profile-2023_2024.pdf

Ok, so the average GPA for the last Maret graduating class (2023) was a 3.7 and I posted it was a 3.7 and yet I'm lying to make a point?
OK.

No, the average and most recent Maret GPA (c/o 2024) is a 3.64. You made it sound like a 3.70 is typical. It is not.

3.64 is still high

It’s high-ish, but there’s a noticeable difference between a 3.64 and a 3.70. I’m also not sure that a 3.64 is much higher than Sidwell’s average. However, it’s hard to tell since Sidwell doesn’t rank or calculate GPAs until junior year. Any Sidwell parents, with facts (not opinions) care to chime in?

It's all much higher than NCS. They have told us that the average is 3.5.
Sigh.
This can't be good.

Have you talked to NCS? Complaining here will do absolutely nothing! I’m starting to think you’re not really an Ncs parent because you should not really care what the entire grade’s gpa is but rather at this point you should know what your own daughters GPA is no? What matters is your daughters gpa. If it is a 3.5 then yes I would be worried.

That's a good point. My daughter's GPA is not a 3.5 but I have a younger daughter who does not do as well in school and I guess I worry that the school would allow teachers to get an average GPA of 3.5.
Yes, the junior class has been told that the classes' average GPA is a 3.5.

What does school say when you express these concerns???? You realize posting here does nothing??????

My older daughter is a junior. What's done is done. We (and everyone we know) did not realize the reality of deflated grades and college admissions until this year.
We always just figured it would "work out" and that colleges understood (and cared) about the rigor. My junior has decent grades (well above the average for the class) so she'll be ok. She's not going to HYP but she'll have options.

My younger daughter is in middle school. We like the middle school--it is kind and gentle and well run. We're going to move her before high school. My experience with NCS is that the administration is not receptive to any feedback
(probably because they get so much) and they are fully supportive about NCS' identity as a school with very difficult grading. The HOS said herself at a recent parent association meeting (to paraphrase) "our identity is to be a very rigorous schools with very hard grading".

Things won't change until they have a large percentage of a class fail to matriculate at competitive colleges. Maybe that will be this year, maybe next year, maybe never. Who knows. Admission results are always very cloudy at a school like this because there are plenty of hooked kids whose applications don't follow the "rules".... I.e. they have a sub 3.5 GPA but the parents have a connection somewhere so they call in a favor and the kid gets one admit WAY beyond their pay grade or those of their classmates (I.e. a top 50 admit with a 3.3 GPA). So for stats purposes NCS looks like a success for this student although ultimately it was a due to a favor called in by the parents in the 11th hour.

We had 2 girls graduate from NCS and currently in college, so recent experience. We decided to send our younger DC to a non-big3 school after going through the college process and dealing with applying to colleges with 3.4 GPAs from NCS. The grading is ridiculous. For example, college kid just called and said they got a score of 100 on an essay. Not one point off. Four years of english at NCS and only received an A the year they were taking it at STA. Every other year it was a B+ (usually an 88). So she is obviously well prepared for college, but the grading wears the girls down. They work so, so hard and my girls both said they never really felt smart until they went to college. I wanted something healthier for DC#3.

Where did your daughters get in with a 3.4? Not specific school but type or range?

I don’t want to out them, but I will say that being a legacy helped with their admissions. The range is exactly the type of school listed in this thread. Think Syracuse, Wake, Tulane, Bucknell, Denison, etc.

Wake is NOT a 3.4. Try a nothing less than a 3.8 in the past 3 years--even with ED.
I just wanted to clarify this as it's on my kid's list and some people think it's super easy but it's only an option for very top girls at NCS (or anywhere) these days.

This is not true. However Wake gives a lot of legacy/family preference.

Huh? I have SCOIR open right now. 3.8 is the lowest unhooked GPA accepted in 3 years. Plenty of others applied. Why are you making things up?
I don't particularly want to post stats online but I hate when people lie on here.

DP. Legacies are not on SCOIR so simmer down.

You can cite SCOIR all you want but you are leaving out context and creating a misleading perception. My recollection, for instance is that SCOIR only shows dots for students who enter the information, so if the student does not enter it, it's not there. I am an NCS parent and can look at it too. You are disparaging teenage girls and stressing people out with one data point that they cannot refute. Just calm down and see how things shake out in a few weeks. It's a beautiful day. Go outside.

DP. NCS parent here and I agree. I have barely logged onto SCOIR at all and did not log into it until after months after they sent us access. This "parent" has been posting about these low GPA averages of NCS since her daughter would have been in 10th grade. Do a search on her posts they started last year - long before a current junior parent would have had access. May be a student or not anyone affiliated with NCS at all. Not sure.
