[quote=Anonymous]OP- there is significant grade inflation in MCPS and more importantly a lack of rigor in grading overall that makes it really difficult for kids to get anything lower than an A or B. The kids getting C or lower grades usually have undiagnosed learning disabilities, struggle with organization/losing or forgetting their work or are just not doing most of the work. Yes, the regular classes in MCPS are remedial. MCPS -at the high school level- does not practice gate keeping. Many schools require more rigorous placement tests, test performance or high grades to be in honors or AP courses. MCPS is the opposite. In many lower performing high school, MCPS pushes kids that are not academically capable into AP courses so it can report higher numbers of kids in those courses. You'll see that the AP scores vary pretty highly among schools. [/quote]
