[Darts]

Congrats to this year's high school graduating class and an extra congrat to the 100 percenters.

Good for them

One will be attending Waterloo and another one will be attending Queens. Glad to see them staying in Canada.

I always have to question when anyone receives 100% grade. But kudos to them for being cream of the crop.

Grade inflation is becoming more & more of a thing but still difficult to do. Yup, kudos.

Right?!?! I remember class averages in my time being in the 60’s. Now an 80 is average.

In my high school graduating class we had about 160 students. Maybe 25 of them were Ontario Scholars (>80% average in 6 OAC's). Only 2 had a greater than 95% average - the top being 97.3%.

It's well documented. That's why Waterloo Engineering has ranking for High Schools and decrement grades by the appropriate amount.

I'm really surprised that hasn't been a Canadian SAT developed...or just use the real SAT.

Oh wait, we know why....

I was in Quebec but I would be the equivalent of an Ontario scholar. My average adjusted for inflation would be 120%. LOL.

In my day and maybe still true to-day all students in Quebec wrote the same matriculation exams across the province.

I wrote 3 of my matriculation exams at Westmount High where Kamala Harris was a student (her mom taught at McGill).

Very nicely composed. My only suggestion, and it's minor, is that maybe there should be an apostrophe between the "d" and the "a" in shoulda.
