[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question: doesn’t everyone get straight ‘As’ these days?[/quote] In my DD's school (in Loudoun County), hardly anyone gets As in AP History courses. There are other scattered courses that are difficult to get As in, but AP history is notoriously difficult. So, even many of the top and brightest kids do not get straight As (if they are taking the most rigorous courses). Not sure how it is at other schools or other counties.[/quote] In my DS's FCPS hs, less than 5% get Straight As, but the GPA reported is weighted so about 15-20% (depending on year) end up with a GPA above 4.0. (This was based on information from the counselor for a scholarship where DS needed to provide rank). The students most likely to get straight As are those that don't take AP courses.[/quote]
