[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question is "why is grade inflation so rampant at most schools?"

My kid goes to a similar (boarding) school with no inflation and "real" grades.  [b]The grading here in the schools is a joke--just read all the parents posting about 10 APs and GPAs of 4.5 or whatever.[/b]  Some schools have more than 50% of their kids with As.  The bell curve is dead.[/quote]

You read on the college forum here about public school kids with 10 APs and 4.5 GPAs but the kids have a low SAT or ACT. However, they insist there is no grade inflation at their public school,  their kids are “bad test takers” and the SAT/ACT aren’t relevant, are racist, etc. How did they get a 4.5 if they are not good at tests? Retakes? In contrast, my Big3 kids had 3.2 and 3.4 GPAs and ACT of 33 and 34. [/quote]

Who cares…what about the 70% of Trinity kids (and countless other NYC and LA privates) graduating with an A- or higher GPA?  Are you lumping all of those into the same group?[/quote]
