Mcps uses a 5 point scale at this point.

Grade inflation is good because GPA is meaningless so the less differentiation it provides the more people have to look for valid academic signals

This is new due to the creation of Honors Health.
It's only possible if you do 2 years of FL and enough art/music in MS to start HS at honors FL and art/music, and do tech credit in MS or take AP CS Principles.

what about on transcript? Better grades perhaps but what shows up in transcript? Let's say they retook first semester of Honors Biology over summer. Honors Bio sem 1 will be listed as having been taken after Sem 2 H Bio.
This. It's not really a scam because you still see it on their transcript. They do this at other counties.
