[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently have over half a dozen Cs on TJ transcript. How can we convince college admissions that had this student been at base high school there would've been no Cs? Is there a document that mentions relevant grading , something to the effect a C at TJ is equivalent to a B+ or A- at baae high-school.  [/quote]

College admission officers were not born yesterday.  6 Cs on a transcript means that the student was severely over challenged.  One maybe two can be explained away.  But 6???

What did your child get on the relevant AP test?  That would be the only objective saving grace.  [/quote]
The bottom 20% of the TJ class has far more Cs than 6.  The published school profile shows the unweighted GPA for the entire class ranging from 2.75 to 4.0.  It takes at least a dozen Cs to get 2.75 or anything less than 3.0.  The sad truth is that FCPS is soliciting below average and behind grade level math students to enroll at TJ in the name of equity but not fully helping them understand what student experience would be like at TJ being in the bottom 20%.
