Do courses show which year they were taken?

Do MS courses with high school credit show that they were taken in middle school on the high school transcript? Eg if taking French 1 will it show that it was taken in 7th not 9th?

Final transcripts in HS now show says present and absent? For each year of HS? I am surprised at that.

It matters in the sense that it conveys the applicant as a middle schooler had the early appetite to take on the more rigorous high school course irrespective of the outcome. For instance, if a student earns a low grade of C in such a course in middle school but shows improvement with grades like B+, A-, A+, etc., in high school courses, it demonstrates to colleges that the student attempted a rigorous course in middle school, initially faced challenges, but persisted and improved progressively in high school. This would be a significant advantage over a student who takes typical courses in high school and earns straight As.

Yes, but this is becoming the norm across America to take Algebra in MS. I imagine their course load in the last 2 years of GHS is more important to them.
