[quote=Anonymous]One reason that colleges are forced to put so much emphasis on standardized tests is that there is rampant grade inflation in certain school systems. Not to pick on Churchill High School, but I found it shocking that 45% of the students had a weighted GPA ABOVE 4.0 http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/churchillhs/counseling/Profile%20class.2014.pdf Even unweighted, nearly 40% are above 3.5 Whitman's numbers are considerable lower: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/schools/whitmanhs/about/wwhs%202013-14%20profile-official(2).pdf But it seems that Churchill's standardized test scores are lower and both Whitman and Churchill have lower test scores than top privates.
