[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were counseled out of big 3.  DD's grades hovered in the C range during freshman year.  Then put on academic warning.  Had meeting with class dean and director of upper school saying if grades do not go up she will need to look for a "better fit" for junior year.  Grades did not really go up first quarter of sophomore year and she as taking 4 not 5 classes.  Met after quarter 1 grades in and told to actively apply to schools.  Applied out and was accepted at Edmund Burke, St. Andrews, Holy Child, not accepted at Field, Visi and Holton.  Grades marginally improved and school said she could stay - but then said in light of college apps in a few year what schools would she get in to with a 2.3 GPA?  Not good ones.  Would fare better in college admissions if higher GPA from another school  We ultimately sent our DD to Burke.  Honors student and got into a selective liberal arts college.  Much happier with the different pace and student body.   School did us a favor in the end and though the process sucked, they were right.[/quote]

So does this mean that no students at private schools have Cs? Does everyone have a GPA over 2.3? I though there was no grade inflation?[/quote]
