[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the main reason parents pay for private school. They will make sure your child has every EC opportunity. That plus grade inflation + poetic recommendations = T20 admissions.[/quote]

Ummm, privates don’t have grade inflation. And good luck making a spot on the team where basketball has 6’10” freshmen recruits and football top NFL prospects, baseball an MLB straight out of HS. That’s our private. [/quote]

Ummmmmmmmm, yeah, right. [/quote]

Yeah, whatever.  Show us the evidence that your privates don’t have grade inflation.  You can start  by linking to the distribution of grades published by your school on its website for its college profile, because of course, you private is transparent about its outcomes, right? [/quote]

Our public has 200 valedictorians out of 500 students. We have 1 out of 250. Our public is known for rampant grade inflation.

Our AP exam profile is 5 for almost all exams. My kids read countless books, write real papers, don’t get re-takes or re-dos. Their midterm exams are 30% of first semester grades. Kids do fail courses.
