[quote=Anonymous]Our experience at local top privates (two in the recent past) is that very very few kids ended up with true "straight A's" and at Sidwell supposedly none or close to none did. But kids that got into the top colleges were very close to straight As, with one or two B+'s perhaps in 9th or 10th grade but otherwise As and a few A-'s. But the middle of the class were getting lots of Bs. For sure not many kids with Cs, but the median grade seemed to be B+ or so in most classes. It did mean that flat As were really earned which was instructive for the kids and good preparation for college.[/quote]
