[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a copy of the letter that MCPS will send with transcripts? This is news to me as a parent of a junior. [/quote]

I just looked at the high school profile that is sent to colleges with transcripts for my current senior.  It has a small note at the bottom that says: “ Beginning in 2025-2026, MCPS final course grades will be calculated using the average marking period percentages, which may affect GPAs. Grades on transcripts from 2025-2026 forward may not be directly comparable to those from prior years. For details, visit [url=http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/grading-and-reporting]www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/grading-and-reporting[/url].”

It’s possible other schools will make this more prominent, but it’s easy to miss on my school’s profile.[/quote]

I believe that’s the language decided on by the district. It’s not clear the result will be on average lower grades. No AO is looking up that link for more info, especially if it’s not hyperlinked in their system. The language does a real disservice to college applicants who will be compared to previous MCPS applicants, whose gpas the AO may see in Slate. [/quote]
