No child left behind doesn't affect your grades. The more likely dependant factors for those is how difficult your classes are, which can only be discerned by comparing the average grades in the classes you took, with the average grades in the same classes at other schools.

No child left behind is largely based at this point around the tests that are now required for high school graduation (otherwise it is not as clearly seen unless in an elementary setting.) And of course those tests are useless since you still graduate even if you fail them.. You just get a little marking on your diploma that says you didn't pass them... "Oh no, who's even going to look at my diploma once I get it?!"

I don't think that's the case everywhere. I'm pretty sure that some states require passing the tests in order to graduate from HS (Washington state, for one, and Idaho's moving that direction).

I could be wrong; it's been years & years since I was in HS & my kids are still in elementary so I haven't paid *that* much attention to it, but I'm pretty sure that passing the tests is in WA and will be in ID, required for graduation.

Ahh! That's so freaky my latin teacher was the same way, what was your latin teachers name? Mine was Mrs. Muldowney(sp?). She was really cool but weird. Her favorite Roman holiday was Saturnalia. But that was a few years ago. Senior year now and things are pretty chill except for my college English class and AP Calc, really mostly english, I hate writing!! I totally understand the procrastination. >.< I made a resolution not to procrastinate this semester, especially since my English and Economics classes won't let me the teacher will even call you if you are at home sick! I had a nightmare that I was in the hospital and they called me and were like do you have your english paper, it has to be here by two or you fail.

Anyway, I have about a 3.9 weighted and a 3.2 unweighted. Grrr!! It sucks but I have always struggled with algebra... my rank is 200 out of 1411 for the Senior class. Yes its a big school, I think we have over 4000 students.

Well, "Everything's bigger in Texas."

iI'm in a finnish high school so i don't think you would know how good my grades if i told.Well,whatever. I have mostly eights and nines (our grades range from 4-10,where 10 is the best), so i'm pretty average . Now i'll go and sit in the corner in shame beacause i'm not a genius...

________________

heh, we don't have a high-school
only "Just school" which combines elementary and middle school
and then... University! Yeah
We have 5 grade system.
My grades was always at "3"...
But i started to study better at 11 class and ended school with "4" and "5"("3", of course also included)



first is "First class" then "Second" etc
(but we don't have "Four class" o_O Why? Hell if i know) so it takes 10 year to end school and make your way to the University
P.S. New law made 11-year education. Heh, i'm lucky, cause' with some new laws when you end 11-year education school you get in the Army in instant(oooh~ ooh~! You are in the Army now!) End school, go serve Motherland(1 year), do what you want. That's the system for those who was born later then 1992 heheheh
Glad i'm 1990

Well I guess since my grades have frozen at this point I can reply to how my grades were.

I don't really fit any of the options though, I'm not really average but I don't exactly get perfect grades because I am quite lazy.

My GPA is good at 4.7, not weighted its about 3.5. I pretty much got C's in all my math classes because I lack natural talent for math and I pretty much did zero homework and never studied plus I slept in class sometimes (come to think of it Im not bad at Math, I just never get enough practice in class since I slept too much). The rest of my classes are all A's and B's though, except for AP US History, I got 1 C in that and 3 B's (I was on block schedule, so a year long course = 2 credits, so it was AP and Honors rolled into one) since I frequently forgot (honestly) that my homework was due.

I could easily have been a straight A student, but that would have been too much pointless work since I got into the University that I wanted to go to anyways (well second choice, but since my first choice had REALLY crappy dorms, or so say friends who go there, I dont really think of it as a loss at all).


I dont know my class rank, but its out of like 200 students since thats all the seniors in my school that are in the magnet program. (Damn school leeching off our FCAT (Im in Florida) scores and we dont even get our class rank bolstered by the large number of normal seniors)

in my school the grades are:
1A
2A
3B
4C .....i forgot the rest...but the lowest is 9G

and except english, i scored everything 9G.... and i didn't even care...

I did well in highschool, the lowest GPA I ever recieved was a 3.5, and that was only once I maintained a 3.8 - 4.0 over the 4 years, so I'm pretty happy about that. I had a 3.3 for my first semester of college, which isn't bad, but definitely could have been better...

________________

I'm still going. I disdain homework, so I have about a 3.5 GPA. It seriously bothers me that I can get 100% on almost every test and get a B in the class because I only did 25% of the homework.

The only homework I actually do are papers and lab reports, because I don't hate writing. Everything else feels like busywork though. If I understand the material well enough to get perfect scores on the tests- even if its only temporary- there's no logical reason I should have to do the homework. *Sigh*. Whatever.

Yes that is correct, I go to high school in Washington and as far as I've been told you have to pass all parts of the WASL, except science, in order to graduate. Though you have three attempts to pass if you fail, or something like that.

Grade wise semester just ended for me and I should have around a 3.8, won't know for sure till I get my report

well, i did pretty well, finished high school with an average of 8.9 out of 10 points (that is how they grade here in my country) in the 5 years of high school (educative system = 7 years of elementary school or primary school + 5 years of high school or secondary school). Except physical education (average of 6) i did well in most of the subjects. I simply studied for the subjects, and so got good grades, got good short term memory so i´m good with memorization.

I never went to high school (longish story short: middle school -> college) so I'll use my middle school grades, which were mostly D's with a few C's and some F's. With the exception of, if I had a good teacher, math I was never terribly interested in, and frequently entirely bored with, all of my classes. This lead to me never doing any of the out of class work and instead just reading all the time - including during lectures - which in combination with being in all the most advanced classes and getting A's or B's on all my exams, drove my teachers insane.

While this is true, I know in California the high school exit exam is a complete joke, and basically only tests your ability to speak the English language (which I unfortunately think may actually be the point). The math doesn't really go beyond basic geometry and the critical reading section asks blatantly obvious questions. I have never actually heard of anyone from my school failing to pass it.
