[quote=Anonymous][quote]On a slightly related note, as a parent of high school children, I find it annoying that the GPA is not reported on the kids' report cards each quarter. When I was in high school, every interim and every report card had a GPA for that marking period on it as well as a cumulative GPA average. We always knew where we stood so no surprises when college application time came around. I wish they did that in FCPS.[/quote]

My high school did this, too, and included the quarter grades in the calculation, so you could see a change each quarter. I asked about this and was told it had to do with the fact that FCPS only includes the yearly grades in the GPA, so it would be confusing to people to include it on each report card. I guess a lot of people aren't aware that only yearly grades are included until their kids are nearing college application time.

I would like it if they printed it on each report card, with maybe a short note saying only course end grades are included. I think it helps kids to know their GPA and know what's included in it.
