It's not proportional. Think of upper grades as a volume control, the increments are not equal. I don't think any high school in my area had any student past a 96% average during my 5 yrs of hs. The system is meant to discourage perfect scores, for ex. my buddy earned over 100% in OAC (grade 13) in some maths and sciences, but could only receive 99% tops.
I'm not insulting your abilities, doll, just pointing out the fundamental differences.
