[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where would this rank a kid in BCC's class typically.  Top 10%?[/quote]

Don't know but saw in the Blair magnet 4.74 is the bottom 15%.[/quote]

It’s because everything almost all of them take is weighted until phys ed.  So my rising senior has a 5.0 WGPA and 4.0 GPS.  A 4.74 means a a significant number of Bs, which with grade inflation is not that normal for that group.[/quote]

A 5.0 is not the norm at all. If your kid takes h.s. math or language in middle school, there are 4.0 grades; if your kid takes band first year, there are 4.0 grades. Tech only has 1 honors option.  4.9 is about the highest I have heard of at end of Sr year, and that was a stellar student.[/quote]

I didn’t say 5.0 was the norm, but it is what my kid has, and I imagine a lot of his friends.  I think they might have changed how they factor in middle school grades, because my kid took three years of language in middle school and also did Algebra and Geometry in middle school, but still has this 5.0 on his transcript.  For the magnet, they don’t take “Tech” class like my non-magnet DD did—they get the tech requirement accomplished through their magnet classes.  Many are in honors band and orchestra starting freshman year.  And health now has a honors option too, unlike when my DD went through.  But his GPA will be lower by the end of the year because there is no honors gym.  [/quote]

Oh, interesting!  Did not know that the magnets operated differently with respect to tech and availability of honors everything from first year.  That is not the case at our mere-W.  :)[/quote]
