[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On what planet is a 3.0 and 26 ACT bad??  Good grief.[/quote]

The AVERAGE American 12th grader has an A average GPA in 2020. Grade inflation is insane. So a low B average is really suspect — especially since we know that’s with parents micromanaging and the luxury of multiple tutors. [/quote]

Grade inflation is out of control  if a student gets an A first quarter and a b the next they get an A for the semester.  But in reality it is much lower.

the lowest A is a 89.5 and the lowest B is a 79.5 so that average is an 84.5 which is an A on the transcript but is actually a mid B.

These kids are going to get crushed in the real world.  [/quote]

I'd love to know what schools are inflating grades.  Too bad my own kid isn't a beneficiary of this practice.  [/quote]

MCPS.

An A and a B combo (over two semesters) gets reported as an A (for the year), for example.[/quote]

Whatever it computes to mathematically. So, an 82 and a 96 (or lower) would = a B for the year.

That’s effectively rounding. What would you have the grade be?[/quote][/quote]
