Grades: A Common Misconception Among Ivy League College Admissions?!

<p>Hi, this is an interesting thread. I have to admit, I'm a bit confused about GPAs and rankings</p>

<p>My son goes to a rigorous public charter school held on a college campus. Their test scores are the highest in our area. There is a partnership with the college where students are able to take college classes that count for both college and high school credit.</p>

<p>His unweighted GPA is 3.9167 and his weighted GPA is 4.1009. These are not inflated grades. Getting a B average is considered good for this school and if you are getting As, you are working pretty hard for them. He has received one C in an upper division language class and a couple of Bs.</p>

<p>I believe he is ranked 4/70. Will that look funny? Having an unweighted GPA of 3.9+ yet ranked 4th??</p>
