[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this article in Walls’ school newspaper, there is rampant post-quarantine grade inflation now.

“The junior class at Walls has an average GPA of 3.93, a number school counselor Kathryn Moore called “very high.” She also noted that the median GPA was over a 4.0. That means that well over half the class had a GPA above 4.0 at the start of the 2022-23 school year. This number will likely only increase, as juniors take on more AP classes, which are graded on a 5.0 scale.”

My rising 9th grader is heading to Walls in the fall, but this article gives me pause.  She’s an excellent, hardworking student, but how will she be able to distinguish herself from more middling, less hardworking, students if their grades are pretty much the same when applying to college?  Can any current Walls parents offer insight?  Especially parents of juniors and seniors. Thanks![/quote]

Wow--massive grade inflation![/quote]

+1.  This is not good for the school and especially the kids.  Speaks to the decline of rigor and hard work.  Things are way too easy and it hurts kids from working hard to reach their fullest potential.

It’s bad enough they can retake tests, not get 0, etc….and now everyone doesn’t need to do much to even get an A.

Just when you think there is still 1 high school with high standards, you have DCPS trying to destroy it.  Just get out of DCPS and their sh*tshow as soon as you can.

Way to passive aggressively dismiss the education of 12000 teens.
