There are too many factors that differ between high schools for a standard grading system to make much of an impact. At some schools, relatively average students will have no problem getting an A in a course while those in others might struggle. This is what is inherently unfair about college admissions and something that many of the top universities realize (thus explaining why so many 4.0s get rejected while 3.9s elsewhere take their place).
