[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student can get a 79 in one quarter and 89 in the other and still get an A, that is 100% grade inflation.  You all should be worried because if your kid gets a B, it looks really really bad to the college admissions officer who is evaluating their transcript.  A B in an MCPS school is like a C in the nearby private schools.  Just sayin.[/quote]

Sorry that would be a B and this is an extreme and unlikely example.[/quote]

As a teacher, it is very common for a student to get an 89.5 (or just above) one quarter and therefore earn an A, and then get a very low B, sometimes even a 79.5 and therefore have an A on the transcript.

I don't know what colleges think about Bs on transcripts from MCPS schools, but students earning As on transcripts that mathematically were not As, is very common. [/quote]

+1. All you have to do is look at the profiles mcps high schools send colleges to see how rampant grade inflation has become. Over 50% of students have a 4.0 or better. If you have any Bs you are literally in the bottom half of the class.[/quote]

Share a link, not of a magnet program but an entire high school that has 50 percent with 4.0.[/quote]

Um, that shows 45% have an unweighted GPA between 3.51 and 4.0. Far cry from 50% at 4.0.[/quote]

Doesn't know how to read a chart...[/quote]

PP read the chart perfectly. If you can’t understand that then you are the one with the problem reading charts.[/quote]
