Is there grade inflation at your child's high school?

I don’t believe our school has a particularly high proportion of top GPAs (my guess is less) but the AP pass rate is 95%+ (85% 4-5) and the average SAT score is 1400. To me that is very different from 4.0s at school where there is a low AP pass rate and the average test score in 1100.

I agree and this is the crux of many of the opinions/disagreements re UC admissions in CA and likely admissions to the UT system. Though they are very different they are treated as equivalent for admissions purposes to the most desirable state flagships in those states.
