[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only mention UW on here. You can't compare FCPS, APS & MoCo b/c they are so different. Our different HS's can't even be compared b/c the weighting is based upon availability of classes for each grade.[/quote] Sorry but if you just compare unweighted then a kid who earns all As in only basic math and non honors or AP/IB classes would stack up evenly with a kid who has all As taking 12IB/AP classes and highest levels of math. But that doesn’t remotely paint an accurate picture of who the student is or the degree of depth or rigor they have engaged in and are prepared to tackle in college. (Not taking away that a student who gets all As should be proud of that achievement and effort no matter what the course—but pretending those two students are on par with one another academically does not compute.)[/quote]
