This article says otherwise: https://bethesdamagazine.com/2024/09/17/where-do-moco-students-attend-college/

Grade inflation in public schools actually hurts the strongest students by making it harder to distinguish themselves academically. It’s much harder to differentiate yourself when you’re 1 of 15 valedictorians. It’s easier when you attend a school like Sidwell or NCS and you’re the only student who graduated with a 4.0 (or even >3.98 GPA). [/quote]

That story doesn’t say anything at all about grade inflation? [/quote]

It speaks to the PP’s erroneous hot take:

“Yep. This is why people send their unhooked kids to public schools. Grade deflation hurts college admissions.”

You’ll find no competitive advantage in moving your children to public school. They’ll have to work harder to differentiate themselves from the competition. [/quote]
