[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dusting this off, mid-term grades came this week and for many 9th graders it was the first time receiving letter grades. Am hearing lots of stories of Bs and Cs popping up in at least a class or two. This seems a stark contrast to the bevy of As that people report receiving in public school.

I know GDS doesn't track GPAs, but does anyone have a sense of what the median is? Also, is it sort of standard that the first mid-term grades are typically on the low side and that kids rebound? [/quote]

“Rebounding” from a B? OP, you are the one who needs to reset your expectations. GDS is not a public school. You’re paying for more rigor, remember?[/quote]

The OP is asking for data so she can understand the distribution of grades in her private school, which would presumably help her set her expectations.  Many public high schools (like McpS) do publish information on the distribution of grades.

Actual data would presumably would help justify the alleged “rigor” of GDS, right? [/quote]
