<p>Is there rampant grade inflation at Lawrenceville?
Is is hard to get Dean’s List or High Honors?
Are High Honors common, ie 50% of grade?</p>
<p>No. But I don’t remember the statistics.</p>
<p>Actually, when you consider how there are so many intellectually gifted students at Lawrenceville and other top schools and how only a fraction get Dean’s List or High Honors, isn’t the better and more apt question: Does X School DEFLATE grades?</p>
<p>It would make perfect sense if a full half of the class at a school like Lawrenceville had students receiving high honors. If that’s what is happening (I have no idea one way or the other), then Lawrenceville, at worst, would be guilty of not deflating grades.</p>
<p>No, it doesn’t. Generally speaking you have to work hard for your As, though you don’t necessarily have to be smart to get them. </p>
<p>In the sense that Cs and Ds are rare, it is inflated, but that seems to be the case at almost every school in the country. Generally speaking, the people who belong there will be able to get at least dean’s list.</p>
