[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to grades, can current or past families advise on what the median range might be? [/quote]

GDS doesn't officially give or calculate GPAs, so they aren't going to share a median gpa. As part of the college counseling process, they give suggestions of what level of selectively a student is competitive for.[/quote]

Even that would be helpful. Like how selective is a 3.5, 3.8, 3.3, etc.  Just need some kind of deciphering.[/quote]

They will tell you that -- individually and not until junior year. Until then, just encourage your kid to try their best. How would getting this information when your kid is in 9th grade help you?[/quote]

Why should it be secret until 11th grade?  People want to benchmark their kids against other kids engaging in similar work programs.  GDS must have some sort of written school profile document for colleges that includes information about the range of classes and how their grading works--it can not be that they're not providing any information to admissions offices.  I can get why GDS wouldn't want to publish this information, but it should be available to parents who want to set expectations for their kids at school.  [/quote]

Have you asked for it?
