[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 16:52. And all the mastery defense in the world won't help you on the comps and precomps.

And curving every test? No. I truly don't care how my kid's MS grades stack up against others. [/quote]

[b]Comps and precomps are curved, PP[/b].[/quote]

Not for all.
My kid was doing great in the teacher given exam, not so well for the precomps, but somehow do terrible on the comps.
The comps counting 50% of the whole year's grade and the precomps being 50% of advisory 2 grade meant that comps and precomps counted for 62.5% of the whole year's grade.
So any kid can have all A's, but the comps can make the A into a C and vice versa
And we tried to have a copy of these comps and precomps to see the big discrepency in the grades, at no avail.

And from what we are hearing, most current seniors who have been in the school for 5 years, did not score well on their SAT's.[/quote]

Is the information about the SAT scores readily available for all to see?  Or is this just something you heard through the grapevine?  The senior class is very small but many of the seniors got into prestigious colleges according to the email the HOS sent out in December so it is hard to believe that most of them did not do well.[/quote]

Are you serious re the December email? At that time, only a handful of colleges were mentioned, and only ONE was prestigious (Princeton). It is absolutely possible that has changed in the interim, but in December, it was nothing to write home about.[/quote]
