[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What percentage of kids at public schools in the DMV area graduate with a 4.0? I keep hearing that there is grade inflation at public schools, but it's not the case in our school. Ours has 5% of kids with 4.0.

People are making sh¡t up. It’s like an urban legend at this point. [/quote]

It’s an excuse people use to explain to themselves how a public school student was admitted to a college that rejected a private school student.

Here are the receipts. Yorktown gives a 4.0 for any A. And inexplicably a 3.5 for a B+ (this is all unweighted, they also give extra points for honors etc). It should be a 3.3 for a B+. And Churchill has 62% of the class with a 4.01 or higher.

I don't think this proves that public schools are easier. All schools gives a 4.0 for an A. Our school gives a 4.0 for all A's and a 3.0 for all Bs. So if you have a 89.9 you get a 3.0.

A B+ should technically be a 3.67.

And I would expect that 62% of Churchill would have a 4.01 or higher on a WEIGHTED scale. Most of the kids are taking honors and AP and 4.01 is not in any way indicative of all As.
