[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test scores don’t tell schools much. I hope they go away.

GPA does tell a ton no matter how rigorous your school is.[/quote]

Let me guess, your kid has a 4.3 GPA and can’t break 31 on the ACT or 1400 in the SAT. LOL[/quote]

Wow.  Aren’t you a charmer.  I’d be thrilled if my kid hit a 31 or 1400.   :roll:

You miss the point. GPAs in public schools are so inflated by weighted classes that the SAT/ACT tests helps differentiate. Low test score kids with jacked up, inflated GPAs love test optional because it makes them look competitive for top 20 colleges even though they wouldn’t have a chance in a normal year. Shhhhh[/quote]

Are you the same poster who keeps insisting public schools inflate GPAs?  If so, please stop.  My kid attends a highly ranked FCPS HS and is working her butt off for the few As she gets.  You sound like an insecure private school parent.[/quote]

Right, but if the rigor is there then the ACT/SAT scores should match the GPA. Understand? No 4.4 GPA kid should be struggling to get a 32 on the ACT. Just saying.[/quote]
