[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, a 79.5 is definitely a C at my kid's school, and an 89.5 is a B. [/quote] Ours too! No rounding up. They also don't allow any AP's until junior year, and only 2 AP or honor courses total. You also only get 0.5 point for both of those. No full point. We were told less than 10% have above a 4.0 and sometimes only 1-2 kids a year graduate with above a 4.0 and sometimes they have an easier track. Tough! [/quote] I feel sorry for your children on the AP front. That’s one of the way college admissions officers know whether a kid can handle college level courses. Also kids who score high enough on APs can get college credit. That can greatly reduce the cost of college if you have enough credits. That’s really a shame for your kids. [/quote] My kids go to a school that doesn't offer any APs at all. I hope they are prepared for college...[/quote]
