At Buffalo Grove High School, a score of 90 will earn you an A, but in Virginia's Fairfax County you'll need a solid score of 94 to get the same grade. Even passing a class is arduous, requiring a 64 rather than a 60.According to The Washington Post, this strict grading policy will be abandoned by The Fairfax County School Board in order to please parents that find it a hindrance. You can read about it here.
There's no doubt students will be pleased with the change in Fairfax. Chances for college admission and scholarships are sure to be increased.
