[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know but I do know you shouldn’t be able to get an A (not even an A-) by earning a 79 first quarter and an 89 second quarter which is the case at MCPS high schools. Ridiculous.[/quote] An 84 will really get you an A- for the semester? No wonder colleges have to use their own gpa calculations. [/quote] I am not sure you are following: MCPS doesn’t average a 79 and 89 to 84. MCPS gives the kid a flat A on your transcript with a 79 and 89 for two quarters. So colleges never see anything but the flat A, and since MCPS offers so many AP classes these kids often get an additional bump in any recalculated GPA by a college. It was all laid out in Bethesda Magazine a while back.[/quote] You are correct. I’m not following, and I’m not at all familiar with the Montgomery County school system. Where the heck does an A start in MCPS?[/quote]
