[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t feed in/average as a GPA but as a numerical percentage. An A (93 and above for the quarter/term) is a 100. (I know this sounds insane but it is true). A B+ is an 89. Most other grades calculate at the highest possible percentage for that grade. So do the math - your kid can prob get a B-and still end up with an A because those 100s make a huge difference. [/quote] This is false. It averages quality points and always rounds up. Your information hasn’t been accurate for quite some time in DCPS. Ex: A, B, B, B+ 4.0 +3+3+3.3 =13.3 13.3/4=3.325. And that is an A-. This is where the true grade inflation exists.[/quote]
