[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Walls who went to DCI for middle school. I bunch of kids applied and about 8 or so were either accepted or got off the wait list (that I know of) last year. I don't know the exact conversation formula, but my kid confirmed that getting an A at a DCPS school is a lot easier (and much more common) than getting a 7/8 at DCI. I'm wondering if that's why DCI does class rankings? [/quote] It should be veryyyy hard for someone to get a 7 (8s can't actually be given as a final grade), which is why it can't simply be converted to an A. Earning a 7/8 means you are at an expert level and are able to apply what you've learned in an unfamiliar setting, so taking skills taught and using them to do something new.[/quote]
