[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my kid's private, only 16% of the students are 4.0 and above.  This is in first semester of junior year.  Kids in this school cannot take an AP course until sophomore year and only one is allowed.  Also, APs are weighted one point higher honors weighted .5 point higher.  An A in this school is truly an A.  Kids have mid term and final exams in all classes.  I feel so blessed to be able to send my kid to a school that actually has credibility with their grading process.[/quote]

Having a similar experience. I was SHOCKED by the difference with public ... but the school is very confident that colleges understand the truth behind all those puffed-up 4.8s.

At my children's former good not great public hs kids could turn in any assignment for full credit up until last week of semester. They could retake all tests. Result: Building full of careless slacker kids with no study skills or ability to work on deadline. When impulses found something better to do than homework or study: "I can't just turn it in late" & "It doesn't matter if I bomb that tomorrow, I'll just retake it next week."

I'm not exaggerating. Kids with near all A's in this school with no study skills, who just retook test after test. On social media so many "top" kids who graduated from that district in 2013-2017 have flunked out or they're just spinning their wheels "taking classes." These students never deserved the A's, they were C students at best.[/quote]
