American's Boosted GPA!

<p>I am a canadian student and to my understanding and experience, canadian schools are extremely difficult to earn a 90% avg at. my cousin who was in toronto in grade 9 got 65ish% avg moved to NJ after grade 9. once he got to NJ, the people thought he was messed up to get 65%, but then he said he did even less work, took all honor courses and got 96% avg in grade 10 and then in grade 11, so as it stands, his GPA is a 4.0+the 65%avg. so... i now think that the american system is really inflated, although they got SATs to balance everything out...
what's your opinion and experience on this?</p>

<p>I think it just depends on the school.</p>
