Small? Try huge.
Of course there has been grade creep. Two major reasons 1) there has to be, that 4.0 is too important for college entrance determination, so high schools have to make sure their better students have it.
And 2) great public relations. Similar to all those "my kid is a honor student", make parents happy without having to teach the little buggers anything.
