[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  We must take the word of private school parents that there is no grade inflation at private schools, that their schools are all more rigorous than all public schools, and that their students are smarter and more hard working.

Because they pay 50K+ a year and therefore it must be so.

How’s that bitterness taste every morning?[/quote]

I'm not paying 55K for a school that won't tell me their median GPA, so it's all good.[/quote]

Yes, it obvious that you aren't insecure at all. It is perfectly normal for a public school parent to lurk in a thread titled "Private Schools." If you do this regularly, you also know how much better the college matriculations are for private schools. That is because schools like Holton don't allow retakes on tests, give everyone an A for anything that is a 80 and above, and has actual rigorous classes.

Click on the college profile and look at the number of students going to Harvard/Yale and other top tier schools. Realize that these are from classes of 80-90 girls, not the 300+ at your public school.[/quote]

Do let us know the names of schools that give everyone an A for anything that is 80 and above.  I've never heard of a school that does that.  Also, the Holton Arms description above does not include any information about grade distribution.  What is the median GPA there, and how do you know that grading there is fact rigorous?[/quote]
