<p>This is something that got me thinking. While schools like Andover are sending tons of kids to ivies I doubt that they all have 4.0's. Could someone please provide me links to average GPA's of graduating students schools like GLAD CHEMMS or other top schools?</p>
<p>I don’t know how other schools grade but Exeter has a 11 point grading system</p>
<p>A/A^2 = 11 (A^2 = A because they did the work but with no effort)
A- = 10
B+ = 9
…
D- = 1
E = 0</p>
<p>Highest honors is 10.00 and above, High honors is 9.00 and above, honors is 8.00 and above.</p>
<p>“early cum laude” is given to the top 5% of the class. this year the cutoff was a gpa of 10.34. Cum laude is given to the top 20% of the class at graduation, but early cum laude is because they’re pretty much guaranteed to still be in the top 20% at the end of the year.</p>
<p>As far as I know Exeter does not report rank beyond cum laude…</p>
<p>I don’t get wrapped up in the CC acronyms. I know that at least with St. Andrew’s and St. George’s that one has to start in the College Counseling section of the website and there should be a link to the School Profile which should give you what I think you’re looking for. As for GPA it is a major factor when it comes to College and every grade counts, including the freshmen year. Personally, I don’t think I ever even really looked at the stats. I could care less, I was only concerned with one guy’s GPA.</p>
<p>I feel like this was discussed on this board before and it was maybe like 3.1/3.2? My son’s school just sent out the GPA distribution for the junior class and I think the average was right around a high 2 low 3. There are never 4.0’s at his school; I think they pride themselves on making that impossible!</p>
<p>keylyme, Looks like your son’s school has a grade deflation policy like some colleges. Would you mind saying which school it is?</p>
<p>at middlesex the school average is an 84 on the 100 point scale. also, in general people’s grades tend to drop junior year and rise senior year.</p>
<p>What kind of grades should we expect as freshmen? I mean, I know they won’t be the same as they were at my old school.</p>
