[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you work hard, study and complete the material, A's are obtainable at NCS also (they don't give A+'s).  That said, there are not many,if any, who graduate with a 4.0, because it is hard to be that dedicated to every subject, all the time.  Same is true for any rigorous school.  I have never heard stories of teachers refusing to give anyone in the class an A, but they do expect you to work for it.[/quote]

They should give A+ grades - why not? STA does and they are equally rigorous. [/quote]

It is a school policy, not up to the discretion of individual teachers.  I don't know why -- maybe they figure the kids would compete too much to convert As to A pluses?  It wouldn't be my policy but I don't know their past experiences.  There's periodic talk of harmonizing the grading scales of NCS and STA because the students cross-register in many courses, but I guess both schools like their current approaches and they are still fully separate schools in terms of administration.[/quote]

A score is a score and should not be lowered so a school can say they don't give A pluses. If this is true, then his may not be a good school fit for us after all. [/quote]
