[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at a top private. I know many kids who are attending with Bs from a DC Big3 school. [/quote] You say this like “top privates” are more rigorous or something. They aren’t. [/quote] They have far less grade inflation (both actual and structural) than MCPS, where grade inflation has increased dramatically during the past two decades. My kid did both, and their grades were lower at private (along with those of their friends). Still had a strong UW GPA (which colleges/universities look at more closely than weighted GPA). Went to UVA.[/quote] Grade inflation is 3 times higher in private schools. [/quote]
