Fairfax always has something to complain about… Our school is 90+ for a A, etc. on a 4.0 scale. No pluses, no minuses. NO extra credit. Noone has 100+ averages. The distribution is still pretty tough, at least where S1 and S2 attend. As for the actual grading standards…what passes for a VERY hard-won B in S2’s English class would get him As anywhere else, including most colleges.
