[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. We found this too - DD took Alg 1 and Language 1 and 2 in MS. None of those were weighted grades and even though DD got As in all 3 classes, it actually hurts/drags down her GPA. Now that she is applying to college. None of these classes were "honors" and no "honors" version was offered. I'm not sure if that was county-wide or just our school which is high FARMS. By contrast, Geometry was offered in 8th grade at "honoes" level and DD did get weighted points for it. Personally, I think the solution is that MS kids should be able to opt MS classes off their HS transcript if they don't need the class for graduation.[/quote] It does not bring down her GPA compared to other MCPS kids who all had the same system. Some school systems do not weight grades at all. GPAs are just not comparable. Guess what there is no honors PE either. No one graduates with a 5.0. There is honors health but not sure about Tech or Arts credits.[/quote]
