interesting, ive always known JHS to be solely 7th and 8th grade. if anything, ELEMENTARY schools are moving to K-5 and making middle schools 6-8. or worse, im my mind, on a developmental level, K-4 and middle school as 5-8.
and back to the OT... we had a similar issue in our school. Our valdedictorian clearly had the highest GPA all 4 years, but then we had a guy transfer in junior year. He had a 4.0 at his old HS and maintained it at our school. He got shot down so hard because well, hed only been there 2 years.
IMO, he totally deserved it over her - the valedictorian's average was barely higher than mine, and i was #4. plus, he didnt ask to be transferred in. they gave him some BS about "oh well he came out of state so we cant even compare it to NYC standards."
trust me, weve all seen NYC standards, it aint that deep.
