[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this article in Walls’ school newspaper, there is rampant post-quarantine grade inflation now.

“The junior class at Walls has an average GPA of 3.93, a number school counselor Kathryn Moore called “very high.” She also noted that the median GPA was over a 4.0. That means that well over half the class had a GPA above 4.0 at the start of the 2022-23 school year. This number will likely only increase, as juniors take on more AP classes, which are graded on a 5.0 scale.”

My rising 9th grader is heading to Walls in the fall, but this article gives me pause.  She’s an excellent, hardworking student, but how will she be able to distinguish herself from more middling, less hardworking, students if their grades are pretty much the same when applying to college?  Can any current Walls parents offer insight?  Especially parents of juniors and seniors. Thanks![/quote]

The problem is that all DCPS high schools have the same issue [/quote]

DCPS, MCPS, FCPS, etc...all of them do. Just a shock when compared to when parents where in school.[/quote]
