Fairfax Grading Tough -- 94% an A

The only time I really saw an issue with grading was when my friend moved to my school from VA. >>>

We moved from Fairfax County to another state. DD had 2 B+s (93s) on her transcripts. The new school kept them as B’s and dropped her AP weighting, so her GPA ended up dropping. Even though she had taken classes that weren’t even offered at the new school and had gotten A’s in all but the two of them and got 10 As at the new school during her senior year (dual enrollment), she did not graduate in the top 10% of her class. That 10% is a criteria for many scholarships.
