[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got the annual fundraising issue of a k-8 school I used to work at, listing where their recent high school grads are headed to college. It looks very similar to the list of the top grads of my local middling public high school. This has to affect these private schools eventually. What’s funny to me is that people are assuming the public school kids are being admitted unfairly, because their GPAs are inflated or something. No one even imagines that these public school students may be stronger. [/quote] Those of us with kids in both know the public school GPAs are inflated. It's not really debated in a covid world. I think there are plenty of excellent public schools where kids are getting great educations, and as someone who sent kids to public, I support public schools wholeheartedly. But the fact that in the pandemic there was rampant public school grade inflation isn't really debatable. Admissions is well aware of this. [/quote]
