“A” Should Not Stand for Average
At Milton, “A is for average” is more than just a joke. In the 2022-23 School Profile (an academic overview sent to colleges which used to include junior students’ grade distribution in each course), 133 students in a class of 196 received a grade in the A-range for Junior English. For those enrolled in courses such as Cal Stats (Advanced Calculus & Mathematical Statistics), Spanish 5 (Honors), Multivariable Calculus, and Advanced Latin, no one received a grade below an A-range. Perhaps only the Science Department showed slightly more distribution, spanning from A+ to C. Nonetheless, even a B+, now considered “proficient,” was a rarity in this group of juniors.

Senior Sunrise Should Mark A New Dawn of Student Engagement
At 5 a.m, last Friday, our senior editorial board, along with about 120 members of Class I, rolled out of bed to attend the annual Senior Sunrise on Observatory Hill. There, we watched the sky lighten and contemplated our pasts and futures at Milton. Aside from the aureate sunrise and our ambivalent sentiments, we awed at the unexpectedly “high” attendance from the senior class. According to our class deans, historically, only a reported 30-40 seniors make the trek to campus in the early morning. The lack of engagement represents a larger problem on campus: Milton’s lack of school spirit and reluctance to participate in social events.
