[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one issue is that some schools (e.g., BASIS) give actual grades and some schools (e.g., many DCPSes) give As to anyone who completes the work by the end of the marking period. My DD has smart, hard-working friends at BASIS who didn't make the cutoff because they're not great at math & study 10-15 hours/week outside of class. She also has friends at SH who turned in every assignment & spend no more than 10-15 hours a term on studying and made the cutoff. I'm not sure DCPS minds that the grade cutoff is helping kids at less selective schools, and BASIS is more than happy to keep its students, but Deal & charters with HSes will be under enormous pressure to inflate grades even more after the cutoff was so high this year.[/quote] This is true. In fact, BASIS has better PARCC scores for 9th grade than Walls for both ELA and math.[/quote]
