"Beginning in 2025-2026, MCPS final course grades will be calculated using the average marking period percentages, which may affect GPAs. Grades on transcripts from 2025-2026 forward may not be directly comparable to those from prior years. For details, visit https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/grading-and-reporting/."[/quote]

OP here - I appreciate the response. I have a junior and I really wish MCPs had not implemented this midstream.  I don’t know how colleges are
going to interpret this. [/quote]

I know that it's a tough change, but there's no way to implement any change that affects everyone in a way that's not "midstream" to some students. Otherwise you'd be having some students in the same grade who are being graded differently (eg a freshman and a sophomore could be in the same class and get the same individual grades, but one could get an A overall and one a B overall due to differences in grading policies.)

I think the focus on grades has been causing all this inflation. If colleges used admission tests more,  then grade inflation inflation would be less of an issue. [/quote]
