DC did not want to take a full load and requires only one credit to graduate. Based on the graduation requirements that I can find, it looks like he requires only two classes (because math is required every year.) The counselor says DC has to take atleast four classes.

DC insists on doing things by himself and does not want to pursue this any further (worried about counselor's recommendation), and is planning to take four.

I was looking up the regulations at https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/ but can not seem to find anything related to this. Well, atleast in whatever I thought might have something to do with this, like under I (Instruction) and J (Students) - like IED, ISB-RA, etc. Also, let us say there is a student struggling to graduate and required say only one more credit to graduate; I cannot imagine MCPS insisting that such a student has to take four classes even though three are not required. So, just wondering if the counselor is blowing smoke. If anyone can give me a pointer to where the regulations talk about minimum number of classes, I would appreciate it!

At RM they are required to take all 7 unless they have a job, internship or are doing dual enrollment at MC. Just have your kid do one of the above and they should be able to leave after the 2 required classes

Oh no, OP's shining star has a special thing that she can't disclose for confidentiality reasons. It's all hush-hush and of course he's going to a very selective institution after this. Smug, smug, smug.
