[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again - do schools not do A minus anymore? I would say I got all As in HS but my GPA was like 3.8, thanks to a few A minuses. [/quote]

We're in Montgomery County Public Schools and an 89.5 is an A, no A- grades given on the report card. Also, they "average" the two quarter grades to come up with a semester grade. If DC gets a B one quarter and an A one quarter, even if their "average" is an 86% or something like that, it becomes an A on their report grade. Total grade inflation. [/quote]

See, this is insane. In my district, that's a B.

[b]And at my friends' kids' private school, if they got an 89.5 one quarter and an 80 the other, I'm pretty sure a C would show up on the report card.[/b] [/quote]
How in the world do an 89.5 and an 80 average to a C? Why would an 84.-something not be a solid B or at least a B- ? [/quote]

I think they were trying to be funny about how at some schools there is no grade inflation but deflation. [/quote]

Not being funny. 84 is the top of the C range.
