[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great question. They are all weighted that I’m aware of but unsure.

The bigger concern was that schools like South Lakes requires more from its students than a school like Langley. So it’s easier to make NHS at Langley than South Lakes. Some high schools have minimum gpa required as 3.7 and others have a minimum at 3.5. That’s a big difference between having on average A- vs. B+ average. [/quote]

South Lakes is an easier school overall so they should make the requirements harder.[/quote]

Would think opposite - if think Langley is better school then there should be more kids getting 3.7 weighted so could do the higher gpa[/quote]

It’s easier to get As at SLHS - so they make it a little tougher to get into NHS.

It’s harder to get As at Langley, therefore they drop the requirements a little.

How do you not get this?[/quote]

NP - what evidence do you have that it’s harder to get As at Langley? I call BS and I’m not a SLHS parent.[/quote]

SLHS is an IB school. Not that many kids do the full IB diploma. They do not have AP classes.[/quote]

That does not mean it’s harder to get As at Langley.[/quote]

Tell someone who cares.[/quote]

I care and so do many viewing and commenting on this thread. [/quote]
