[quote=Anonymous][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]

A lot of top schools do not give A plus, including Sidwell, MCPS, etc. I think the question should be why does STA has that policy?[/quote]

Your thinking is off. If a child gets 98-100 percent of the answers on all tests, homework, and quizzes, which could easily be done in math, then that is an A+ average. What are you suggesting? That the school purposely hurt the child's score and lower it? That is absolutely ridiculous. [/quote]

I think the above posters confusion stems from the different grading system STA uses (numerical 0-100) as compared to the letter grading system used by other schools.  The 98 example used above is an A in the letter grade system, regardless of the school.  Also, colleges regard the 98 from STA as an A (unweighted)[/quote]
