Study after study shows that AB students consistently perform worse in school compared to similar schools in Massachusetts, while having higher standardized test grades, higher 4-year college attendance rate, and students in the National Merit & Achievement Programs. This means that our grading system does not accurately represent our students’ dedication to academic excellence, intelligence, and great potential. As a result, our students are experiencing high levels of stress and achieving record lows for the amount of sleep each night. So, Eric and the Gold Pig Party will fight for better grades for students.
