Magnet Applications:  My Child is an "A" Student

3/27/2017

 
Parent:  On the matrix, I see that my child has been awarded an 83% for their report card.  This must be a mistake, they are a straight "A" student.

Me:  They attended private school last year, correct?

Parent:  Yes.

Me:  The private school report card that you gave us had a 6 point scale.  One being in dire need of help, six being the best possible score.

Parent:  Yes.

Me:  Your child earned all fives for quarters of all their core classes.

Parent:  Yes, they did very well.

Me:  5 divided by 6 is 83%.

Parent:  But my child is a straight "A" student!

​Me:  Not according to the report card you submitted from last year.  I'm very sorry.
