[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] “The average high school grade point average increased significantly from 2010 to 2021, with most of the gains coming during the last five years, according to a new report released today by ACT. During the same time, composite scores on the ACT fell from 21.0 to 20.3, suggesting that grade inflation is a serious problem, the testing company said. In that same time period, most of the students studied changed the way they classify themselves, with A becoming the most common way and the number of B students and C students going down.”

Actually the Walls class of 23 had really unusually high SAT scores. (Based on the school average published by DCPS and the number of students on the presidential scholars eligibility list.) I bet “grade inflation” at Walls doesn’t look as bad if you control for SAT score. [/quote]

Actually, I bet it looks worse because the grade inflation became worse with COVID, which is when they dropped the test as part of admissions to Walls.[/quote]

They didn’t kick out the kids who were already there. The classes of 23 and 24 were admitted by exam. [/quote]
