[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS and assuming everyone has all As in all subjects. Sucks the joy out of it.[/quote]

Do you want a curve? Why?

I get that the assumption is grade inflation. But ES is not hard, and this is an educated area: at least in theory, everybody could have mastered the grade standards. Should they not then have As for hitting that mark?[/quote]

If everyone is hitting the mark, the mark is too low. [/quote]

Then you need to go private. MCPS grading regulations specifically prohibits curves. https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/ikara.pdf

"The following grading practices are prohibited: ...
b) Forcing grades into a normal frequency distribution or any other
kind of curve that compares students in relation to others."[/quote]

And there we have it, that private school admission human. The thread was started by a private school, as usual.[/quote]

Actually, no-OP here, and I just wondered if all my kid's academic deficiencies have magically disappeared or if grading was lighter.  But not sure why people from outside of MCPS are responding--that was not the infomation I wanted to gather from the post.[/quote]

What grade is your kid?  Did they have deficiencies before or did they just need time to catchup?[/quote]
