[quote=Anonymous]OP, is your student not yet in IB or is your student finishing his or her first semester of IB in high school--? If your student is already in IB you should have been seeing quarter grades that were . I can only speak for FCPS but what you will see coming home on SIS or report cards is letter grades and the GPA numbers that you are used to seeing. IB and the FCPS traditional A-F scale have to work together and it's often tricky for parents to try to translate the IB scale into the traditional A-F scale meaningfully. Your student should be able to explain this to you, and if he or she can't, it means the school's IB staff haven't done enough to explain it to the students themselves. What you'll see on the FCPS report card will be number (0-100) and letter (A-F) grades like you're used to, not a "6" as a semester grade, for instance. I don't know how other IB schools do it outside FCPS, though. [/quote]
