[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is at NCS. From what I can tell: 20% Ivies 10% U of Chicago 10% other top 20 universities 10% top 10 liberal arts colleges Etc. That is 50% of the class into TOP20 colleges/universities. Minimum. Even with the deflated GPAs (well under 4.0), almost no APs, etc. STA is similar. Sidwell has pretty much gotten the entire class in top50 schools. GDS is a bit uneven. [/quote] How exactly are the grades "deflated"? Public schools might inflate grades, but that doesn't mean independent ones deflate them.[/quote] Are you new here? Most of the more academics rigorous private schools here pride themselves on giving out significantly less As than area public’s.[/quote] What school prides itself on "giving" students FEWER As? Methinks this is a bit of projection on your part. The point remains: it's the grade inflation at public high schools that is the problem.[/quote]
