[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your school will significantly harm the chances of its students to get into the elite schools where GPA and stats determine 99% of the admission process.[/quote] These schools are known to colleges. My DCs attended a Big 3 and now a similar school in another metro city - no class rank, no GPA, and no APs. Every year there are kids headed to HYPSM, T-10s, etc. Colleges and universities like their school because the hardest year of college for these kids really is, like the old cliché, their junior year of high school. These kids don't need APs because many of their teachers have doctorates and teach college-style courses. [/quote] Colleges like the schools because the families have the cash to be full pay. Take away grades and it’s easier to admit the kids on more subjective measures that have more to do with their well-resourced families than merit. [/quote]
