Why are some schools so easy?!?!

I go to one of the most competitive high schools in the province (I’m from Canada) and we have some grade deflation issues, especially in the advanced courses. Our classes are all really hard too. Even the regular academic classes in my school are WAY harder than they are in other schools. And the worst part is, Ontario universities don’t even care about the reputation of your school or course rigor. It SUCKS. So if I get like 93 avg in grade 12, I might lose my spot in a school to someone who had a 95 with all bird classes.

And why is school in America so easy?? I know people that moved there and their marks jumped up like crazy! It’s just not fair, I don’t know what I should do. If I apply to US universities, will they know about my school’s rigor and reputation? And will they care or will they do the same thing as Ontario universities?

It really makes me feel bad when I work my butt off for a good mark at my school and someone else in another school is getting higher marks than me without doing much work at all. :/
