[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our FCPS high school there would be a reception for the The All "A" Honor Roll. Year after year it was typically 3% of the class. So, no Op not in our experience. And it's a HS where almost all are college bound.

FCPS does not have the same grading system MCPS uses. Actually there is no school system I know that has such a bloated incorrect grading policy.  [/quote]

That's not true. MCPS grading policies are mainstream and in wide use today. Even FCPS today is remarkably similar. The problem here is the OP offspring take easy classes and then complain that A's are easy. Go figure...[/quote]

If the other poster was referring to Fairfax county, they are right - Fairfax uses A, A-, B+, B, ... scale. And they allow teachers to choose something they call rolling gradebook to get semester grades, though I don't know how many teachers choose that. With rolling gradebook, a student who gets 89.5 in the first quarter can not just blow off the second quarter since getting 79.5 in the second quarter will not get them a final A for the semester.

So, no, Fairfax does not use a similar grading system to MCPS.[/quote]
