| MY DC is struggling in an honors level HS math class. Is it possible to switch into the on-level math course in semester 2? Has anyone's kid done this and how did it go? Anything we should consider if the change is possible? |

| Ask a school counselor, at your particular school, if it's allowed or it's not. Better start there. |

| Yes it’s possible. A level change in math at the semester is very common (also after 1st quarter.) |

| Our High Schooler did, but honestly didn’t help much. He still struggled and didn’t have the honors bump to help his GPA. |

| I suggest tutoring. |

| My son went from honors geometry to on-level 2nd semester. It helped his confidence immensely. He was barely passing honors even with tutoring so we had no choice. But if he’d had a B in honors (possibly even a C), I would have encouraged him to stay because there was a world of difference in content. |

How did that play out? Same grade in the honors and non-honors class? Honors class gave a courtesy C while non-honors gave a regular C? |

| If this is honors geometry in MS, likely he won’t be able to because there is no on-level offered to my knowledge in MS. If it is in HS then this can be done. |
