[quote=Anonymous]This happens with honors classes. We encourage our kids to challenge themselves as much as possible, but in our high-performing school district, there’s no upside and only potential downside. What’s worse, the curriculum development team has discretion over whether to identify an honors class with a GPA boost (as with AP classes). In our district, honors chemistry gets the boost in one school but not the other three schools; yet the online honors chemistry course that was offered during the pandemic DID get the boost at all three schools. Honestly, I think it’s a matter of certifying the course at each school and the curriculum development team rests on the “it doesn’t matter because colleges and universities re-calculate their own GPA equivalents to create as much of a level playing field as possible during the admissions process”, and only do the work of certifying when either the principal or parents raise enough of a fuss.[/quote]
