Grade Inflation

Grade inflation is significantly less in Quebec than the US and also Ontario. In my kid’s h.s. graduating class, the top average was 94%; only 2 students maintained 90+ across 5 years. In Quebec’s top English CEGEP (2 year mandatory college between Grade 11 and university), which sends students to Harvard and other Ivies every year, the top average for the social science/liberal arts stream was 94%. However, the Harvard lawsuit showed that the grade deflation is taken into account, with 10% added to averages coming out of Quebec before calculating student academic index.
