[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they posted a grade for term 4 it is likely done. Some teachers do go back in and make some edits at times, but typically (especially for Q4) once its posted they are out of there.

I work at a middle school, but we had to post our grades today to get checked out for the summer. My son is a DCPS high schooler and every teacher posted grades this week with the last two being today.

The final grade for the year will populate tonight after 10 or 11pm to be added to their transcript if it was posted today. [/quote]

+1. Both my seventh grader and my freshman have all of their numbers in. Grateful to the teachers for moving so quickly.

Now freshman awaits their first ever announcement of ...class rank. (gulp)
Does this post in Aspen or only Naviance?[/quote]

DCPS has class rankings? My kid goes to a DCPS HS and doesn’t have class rankings that I know.[/quote]
Walls doesn’t. So far as I know, all other DCPS high schools have class rank printed on the transcript. [/quote]

Walls doesn't print a rank on your transcript? Wonder why they (uniquely) opt out.[/quote]

I heard some parents threw a fit.[/quote]

Yes.  Walls is unusual in that there is a cohort of about 15 kids per year that complete their last two years of high school via the GW program - meaning they take classes at GW their last two years instead of classes at Walls (with the exception of some Walls requirements like internship and senior project etc).  My understanding is the kids taking classes at GW all got a point bump for every class taken at GW on their transcript so there was no way for "regular" kids at Walls to compete GPA-wise, no matter how many APs you take.  Comparing apples to oranges I guess.  FWIW I can see on Naviance there are sky high weighted GPAs that my "regular" Walls kid who is taking 4 APs junior and senior year plus calc 3 could not mathematically attain, even though kid has straight As.  So I guess there was something to the parents' complaint (and the resulting elimination of ranking via GPA at Walls).[/quote]

What you wrote is true.  But the parents who got rid of ranking truly did throw a fit.  Particularly one parent who threw fits about everything involving their child.  Truly the squeaky wheel (to the extreme).[/quote]
