[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS does have massive grade inflation in middle school. I don’t really care much. I have high achievers who have learned a ton in APS. Is it silly that well over a third of kids get all As? Yes. But my kids have learned plenty and done plenty beyond core requirements. If your kid is a self starter APS is quite good (so long as it doesn’t bother you that a bunch of mediocre students also get all As). If your kid needs As to motivate them to go above and beyond, the grade inflation can be a problem. [/quote] Well over a third may get all As in a particular quarter but all As all the time doesn't seem that common. When my 10th grader finished 8th grade they recognized all the kids will all As for all 4 quarters for all 3 years and it was about a dozen kids.[/quote]
