Thank you. Now onto a bigger test of independence in the fall - college life. |
Just found out my kid got 4s in Lang and Physics 1 and 5s in BC Calc, CS, Chemistry. Seems great to me! |
Nice! Really great outcome! |
Our Spanish isn't out yet!!! We are in Maryland. ![]() |

Duh myself, of course everyone (or almost) is in the area. We are in MoCo. |
DC going to college in Aug results:
Biology = 5 Physics C Mech = 5 Physics C Elect = 5 Microeconomics = 5 Macroeconomics = 5 Music Theory = 5 Statistics = 5 DC rising junior results World Hist = 5 Comp Sci A = 5 Great day! And maybe save some college tuition costs! |
5-5-4. The 4 was in calc ab and actually a very pleasant surprise as kid barely pulled a low B in Mcps and at times had much, much lower despite a tutor and very strong effort. |
Boom! Clean sweep, congrats! |
Nice job! I don't get all of these comments about grade inflation; I don't see it in practice. |
Why isn't MoCo out yet??? |
MCPS sucks. My kid got a 1 in apush and calc bc. Always got 4s when we had tutors. Couldn’t find a decent tutor this semester and the teachers were terrible as evidenced in her score. |
Plenty of students get 5s with no tutors. It strikes as a bit of a cop out to blame the teachers. |
Fabulous! |
That is really unfortunate. If you look at Princeton Review you'll see they have a range of AP type tutors, from a 6 hour cram session over 2 weekend days, to one-on-one from 10 hours up and a "guaranteed 4" or a "guaranteed 5" where you get your tuition fees back if it doesn't end in a strong result. We actually used them on a variety of AP's for our kids, entirely because the teaching in school was lacking. |
It's a big county with varied teaching talent. Ours (Wheaton) were great -- 4s and 5s. |
