[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, it's both impossible to know how it compares and, if you are asking to give a sense of college admissions chances, not yet indicative of how the grades will be viewed.  Many strong BCC students will have come into HS having taken Algebra 1 and World Languages in Middle School. Those classes aren't weighted and so make it look like their weighted GPA is below that of someone who started MCPS in 9th grade and has virtually all honors classes.

More importantly, what really matters is the rigor level of the classes taken.  An A in Honors American History looks the same as APUSH in a weighted GPA, but reflect different degrees of success.  And 11th grade classes, when to students are taking 4-5 AP/IB classes, is when the rubber really hits the road and previously straight A students might see their first B.

So the bottom line is this: if your kid is taking the most rigorous schedule offered and getting straight As, then they are absolutely in the running to be in the top 10% of the class, but it is highly likely that more than 10% of the rising juniors at BCC currently have at least a 4.7 WGPA[/quote]
