[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t trust naviance. My son with near perfect SAT score and 4.89 GPA was rejected from every single school except for his safeties.[/quote]

Troll. No one has a 4.89 GPA.[/quote]

Do you know how easy that is to get at MCPS? [/quote]

BS. It is not easy. There are many required classes that are not possible to be weighted, Algebra, First two years language, Art elective, iED, PE. Not saying it is impossible but if a kid has 4.89 junior year it is very impressive.  It mean running the table with A’s and taking every possible class honors/AP.[/quote]

Some kids are able to place directly into an art class that has honors weight (a chamber orchestra or chamber choir, for example).  The availability of this for freshmen depends on the school.  Tech credit can be earned through AP Computer Science Principles, which may be an easy class, but still carries AP credit.  Some kids get so bored in the early foreign language classes that they decide to skip one of them.  (Or they transfer in from middle private school and place out of Foreign Language 1 and/or 2 through a placement test).  Kids who transfer from a middle private and took algebra there don't have unweighted (or any) algebra 1 on their high school transcript.  The only high school class that MUST be taken non-honors is PE.  That's it.  If someone puts PE off until senior year, it's not part of the grades 9-11 WGPA.

I don't think that students have to go through any of the aforementioned hoops to avoid non-Honors classes, but for some, this is just what happens naturally.[/quote]
