[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For legacy Banneker families-- how much do parents and kids need to stress about a C or two in the 1st quarter grading period when they were previously all A students?[/quote] Thank you for asking this question. My son who had gotten all As in middle school is beating himself up because of a few bad grades. Question:For purposes of a final GPA, does the individual term grades really matter? He can still recover if he does well in terms 2-4, right because the grades are averaged?[/quote] Yes, Banneker uses the same inflationary grading policy as all DCPS schools. So a C, A, A, A is an A- on the year, and a B, A, A, A is an A. There is time to recover. Also, even right now, your kid’s first quarter class rank is higher than you think. An unweighted 4.0 is pretty rare at Banneker. [/quote]
