[quote=Anonymous]I think an A at NCS is 94 or 95 and with high standards this is not easy. I know one private school that has actually changed the bands of grades so that what used to be a B+ is now an A. This is in direct response to grade inflation elsewhere. I listened to a college counseling session yesterday that noted that 45% of high school graduates in the US have straight A’s. That means literally not one B. Covid has made a mockery of grading. The reason people care is what everyone keeps telling these kids is that the only thing that really matters in college applications is grades. They make good grades impossible to achieve and then wonder why the kids are demoralized.[/quote]
