[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid's grades probably put them at the 50-75% mark in the grade.  There are always a handful of kids, maybe 10? who get a 3.9+ and a few of these who have a 4.0.  These kids are remarkably smart and disciplined and had some luck with teachers as well.  I'm quite sure that I (an Ivy educated mom in my 40s) could not get a 4.0 at Sidwell. Those who do are truly impressive. [/quote]

Thanks, that sounds about right. It seems that my daughter’s friends and (some) classmates are fairly honest with each other about grades. She told me that she only knows of one student in her grade who, reputedly, has maintained a 4.0. There may be others, but she has only heard one name mentioned consistently. [/quote]

i thought the average at big 3s hovered around 3.5 when converted to a GPA. Op's kid seems well above that. probably more like a 3.8.[/quote]

OP. I haven’t calculated her cumulative GPA, but my guess is that it falls somewhere between a 3.80 to 3.85. As I said before, she’s doing well. I just wanted a rough estimate of those students with a 3.9 and above. This is my question, not my daughter’s. She has made peace with the fact that she will not graduate with a 4.0. She just wants to keep her cumulative GPA above a 3.80, which I think is attainable.[/quote]

If she has more A minuses than As and a B+ then she probably has a low 3.7.  [/quote]

Clarification: I looked at all of her semester report cards again, including freshman year. She had way more A-‘s, than A’s, on yesterday’s report card. She actually has more A’s than A-‘s than I remembered on her freshman year report cards. Last year, one report card card had 4 A’s, 1 A-, and one B+. The other one had 4 A’s and 2 A-‘s. You can calculate her freshman year GPA for me, if you’re so inclined. [/quote]

Let me add this years grades, for you number crunching enthusiasts. 4 A-‘s and 2 A’s. Then yesterday, 2 A’s, 3 A-‘s, and 1 B+.

What’s her cumulative GPA?[/quote]

DP. Your daughter has a cumulative 3.82 GPA (9th and 10th grades). Use this cumulative GPA calculator I found with a quick search: https://gpacalculator.io/cumulative-gpa-calculator/

I’m a Sidwell parent, and most/all classes are 0.5 credits/semester. Congrats to your daughter! Now, relax and let your daughter enjoy her summer break. [/quote]

Thanks, this is super helpful! I’ll bookmark this site. I’m relieved to see my guess about her GPA was correct.[/quote]
