[quote=Anonymous]My kids' school does the same not in FCPS. When I was growing up (NYC burbs), 3.5 was A- (90-94), 4.0 was A (95-100). It is a lot harder to get a 95+ than a 90 and shows mastery. At my kids' HS, A- is 90-93 (and it's considered a 3.7, not a 3.5); they have made it even easier nowadays. According to the school profile, 14 kids have a 4.0. 142 have a 3.67-3.99. Obviously those 14 kids are real superstars- the grades properly reflect that. Anyway, colleges do not look at GPAs equally across schools. Any school can make up any grade structure they want. But colleges will evaluate the grades within the context of the school and recalculate them. [/quote]
