That seems like a big jump. My graduating class at Wise Wood in the late 80s had something like 500 students, and I’d be surprised if more than 20 had averages higher than 90. Each semester they would post the first-class honours list of students with an 85 per cent or higher average, and there were usually around 50 or so names on the list.
