I mean, second QUARTER.

She actually just needs a 90 in MP2 for an A, right? (Not OP, just making sure I understand this correctly for my own kid.)

OP here. Thank you for a very valuable comments and advice. I hope she manages to scale up to A. And yes I think she needs a tutor despite her having a technology credit in middle school. Also for ones asking if this is troll, definitely NOT. I’m just an ignorant parent of a 9th grader and like any parent, well wishes for my kid. This was me genuinely concerned though I did not express that to her as she was already feeling bad about it. But thanks, appreciate all your responses. This forum as always is gem

OP here. My daughter tells me it 89.5 for A. Hope it is right.

She tanked on her few tests early in the quarter and despite so much efforts could only bring it up to 89.4. (89.5 would have been a A). This is her first ever B as far as I remember and as a new high school parent, I'm kind of concerned about how this will impact her overall high school GPA and college admission. my daughter tells me that her seniors said, that the semester grades only will be visible and not the quarter level grades, by which she thinks if she manages to bring it up to A bu end of the semester, she should be good. Is this right ?

The jig is up. College will know she's not a computer person.

A tutor? For a kid currently with a 89.4?🙄
