A significant number of Baltimore public high school students earned below a “D” grade point average during the first three quarters of the 2020–2021 school year, according to an analysis.
The analysis by Project Baltimore, an investigative reporting series by Fox affiliate WBFF, found that during that time period, 41 percent earned a 1.0-grade point average (GPA) or below. That would mean that more than 8,400 of Baltimore City Schools’ 20,500 students are getting grades below a “D” overall.
