[quote=Anonymous]I don't see it. I've seen the grade distribution at a school like Harvard Westlake and about 50% of the kids get an A and the other 50% get a B, and then there are a few Cs, Ds, Fs. We're at a public and it's pretty much the same too - some teacher release grade distribution and it's roughly 10 As, 10 Bs, and then like 6 Cs, Ds, Fs ( in a class of 26 kids). So Churchill's 59% between 3.5-4.0 does seem high but not huge surprise that 50% of the kids of at a school would have a GPA between 3.5 -4.0. As for "retaking" a class. That's only for kids who get a D or F in a class. They can try to recover the class (by taking the class over again) and get a C. The D or F still remains on the transcript, but the C is calculated into the GPA. I imagine private schools might have an even more generous recovery policy? I do get that there are schools out there that are plain easy - online schools or schools that rely heavily on online classes. [/quote]
