[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepandemic, it was harder to get into Walls and harder to get As at Walls. Now, probably 50 percent of the kids are getting straight As. [/quote]

Does anyone know what percent for which this is actually true? I thought my rising senior with all As would be an exception and would be viewed as such by colleges but maybe we need to reassess?[/quote]

Can’t speak to grade inflation at Walls but for the past 3 years only 4% of graduating seniors have a 4.0 unweighted GPA. [/quote]

Darn it. There you go, citing actual data. Wasn’t better when we all could just make up our own “facts” like everyone gets all As all the time? You ruin everything!

That’s JR, though.

Parents sometimes post here saying “my JR kid has an unweighted 3.7, what does that mean for college?” But at Walls no one ever seems to admit to less than a 4.0.[/quote]

Isn’t this thread about Walls?

This was in response to a comment about rampant grade inflation in DCPS. More relevant perhaps to this thread -- we know a few Walls kids who graduated in the past two years and they weren't As across the board. So "everyone gets all As at Walls" is not true.[/quote]
