[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

There is no grade inflation, but the students who are getting mostly C's are going to get pushed out. They are a drag on discussions in small classes and they are going to fare poorly compared to their peers. It's better for all that they find a better fit. Some will not get their contracts renewed (if accompanied by poor behavior) and others will be strongly advised to seek a less intense academic environment.  Some really smart students can't excel if they are reminded all the time that someone else is smarter/harder working etc. So a less competitive environment than found at SFS, NCS/StA, or GDS could really be a boost to reaching their full potential.

For the Upper School level, at least one of the schools in the PP's list gives out plenty of C grades and students don't get pushed out for having them.  If somebody is in the upper school and passing all the subjects and making a reasonable effort and ok on behavior, they will have no problems staying.  (It's a different question if a family wants to keep their kid in that school or look for an option where the kid will get higher grades, but some keep the kid there if the kid is happy socially.)  If somebody has all Cs coming out of middle school, it may be different, though -- I only know about high school.[/quote]
