[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you know that the percentage of students earning a 36 on the ACT is 17x higher today than 20 years ago? If grade inflation is such a problem, than this is, too. https://www.applerouth.com/blog/2017/12/12/a-concerning-trend-continues-more-students-getting-perfect-36s-on-act/[/quote] GPA inflation: In 2023, it's not uncommon to have 10% or more of a graduating class with a 4.00 U/W GPAs. ACT inflation: Even at 17x (or even 20 - 30x in 2023, prospectively), an ACT score of 36 is achieved by around 1/2 of 1% of test takers. A 36 in one-and-done fashion? Probably 1/8th of 1% of test takers. 0.100 vs. 0.001 ... now do you understand the absurdity of the comparison?[/quote] Our Arlington public high school had 200 valedictorians. You just had to be 4.0 minimum weighted.[/quote]
