I will say, this mirrors my child’s experience at BI. How can the class average be a C- or almost no one gets higher than a C? Not that things should be easy, but that doesn’t sound right to me.[/quote]

That sounds familiar for one of my kid's classes this year. It sounds like there were just a small handful of B+/A- and one of those kids swears up and down that they have a photographic memory. So if that student could only manage an 85-90, there wasn't much hope for the rest of them. lol

Older sibling graduated already so we've been in the school for a while. I'm trying to console myself that it seems like midterms at BI tend to be harder, more detailed and comprehensive tests than the finals. Finals are much more likely than midterms to be a project or only testing content from 4th quarter, so not quite as heavy of a lift (though there's no guarantee). And the AP classes are all done by May so the teachers tend to go easy on them for the final, which is a small silver lining to loading up on APs.[/quote]
