[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why parents cannot be informed of this GPA information. Why will it “never happen”? It makes no sense to not fully understand where your child stands in the class and get a better idea of how competitive they can be in the college admissions landscape.[/quote] Because it will just rile parents up. [b]Because at schools like this, the top college admits often don't go to the top academic kids. [/b] Not a fault of the high school--just a reality of admissions but parents will blame the high school and it will be more discontent that they have to deal with... At our school there is a Cum laude society (top 20%) and almost all the Ivy admits (like 90%) are outside of this group. The URMs and athletes pretty much always are outside of the top 20%. The legacies are mixed. [/quote]
