[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in his last year with GPA of 4.15. I think he has taken every AP offered. Not sure who decided if he should take them. He is taking 4 right now.
They seem to give grades away there as far as I know. He is a pleasant kid and I think he gets a few points just for that.
He will be attending Nova next year. He promised to do his homework at Nova, because we paying for it.
I really don't care if he learned anything or not. He has the ability to do well in college. He knows chilling and childhood is over.[/quote]

If they were giving away grades you would expect to see lots of kids getting A in the AP classes and then 3 on the exam. [/quote]

This happens all the time. My kid has tons of friends who received 2d and 3s on all APs. [/quote]

JR has a 65% pass rate on AP tests defined as a 3 or above.

So, yes, they give out grades like candy at Halloween and the AP results don't match.[/quote]

As a PP pointed out, the pass rate is 73% which is a much, much higher pass rate than application schools like Banneker and McKinley Tech and 2nd in DC only to Walls.

Also, I think probably 35%+ of kids taking AP classes earn less than an A in the class.  [/quote]
