Exactly what 3togo said. It’s all about the distribution of grades.

At our hs, where 94=A, the profile makes the all important point (imo) that a relatively small percentage of the students have A averages (I forget the exact percentage).

Makes very clear that there is no grade inflation, and makes those hard-to-get As (at our school) mean something.
