[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it OP.  My DC lived through it too at a big 3 and it was so disheartening to have them work so hard with maximum effort to sometimes receive a B- in a class.  I’d like to say it paid off, but not sure all the sleepless nights and lack of work/life balance was worth it.  Only thing I learned was to not send younger DC to a big 3. [/quote]

That happens in classes that you’re weak in.  The most effort I ever put into a class was basic algebra in 9th grade.  The only time I got after school help, everything I could.  I got a C.

Just because you put hours into a class doesn’t mean you’re doing “A” work. [/quote]

You're missing the point entirely.  The point being that NO kids in some classes are doing well. They are full of bright kids who were accepted because they had 99% standardized test scores and were the stars of their sending middle schools and they do hours of work and the averages of tests and papers for entire classes are routinely a 70%.  
It's not a question of kids not being in appropriate classes or kids not being appropriate for the school.  Unless you're saying the entire student body is not appropriate for the school.

The OP was confusing.  She was claiming low average class test scores and average grades “B”But then she claimed her kid was straight A student.  It’s not clear from that information if any students are failing, how many are also getting As.  Maybe there was grade inflation in the middle schools but not in this high school.

Whatever reason I guess that means the teachers will have to dumb down the curriculum or the school needs to accept that the average student in their school is learning the curriculum in the B level range.  Some students are having a much tougher time than others.
