It turns out that there's an extensive list that details every single high school that has been determined as one that highly inflates students' marks.
As a result, dozens of schools were found to have such inflated marks that when they entered university, they saw upwards of a 27.5% drop from what they achieved in high school.

Makes sense, so many of us graduating in OAC had to take night school/summer school to bump our marks especially for calculus (they would kill us), but once we got in university it was a breeze. For my year our calc teacher got in shit because he was giving us 3rd year calculus materials to test us on...hence why I barely passed the class and had to retake high school calc in summer school along with everyone else

Fucking Mr. Singh
i was the opposite. OAC calculus was easy as f. university calculus was WTFCOCONUT.
just talked to a frosh today... uwaterloo comp sci entrance average is 98? how is that even possible?!?
Took OAC Calculus in gr12 ... Didn't do that well, dropped it halfway, ended in night school OMGWTF 99% Calculus submission mark ... (Uni applications went out in mid-term...)
Come final mark, omgwtfbbq got fried on the final exam worth 50%
