I was curious if the American education system had school scaling.
To explain quickly, in some parts of Australia, your mark is "scaled" depending on how well your school does. Let's say 70% is the average mark for two schools. For example, a 70% at the no. 1 school will get you around a 92% scaled since you were average but everyone in the overall state exam did super super well so you get a good mark since you were compared to those guys. A 70% at the 400-500th best schools will get like 60% scaled since everyone didn't do well and a 70% isn't that impressive at such a school.
You then get your university admissions mark based on that after your marks are scaled to be accurate compared to everyone else.
How does it work in the US?
