[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is switching private schools.  This is not in the DC area.  The reason for the switch is due to the rigor of the previous school.  She took placement tests for math and language and will need to repeat classes at the new school.  She took Spanish II last year and her placement test at the new school puts her in Spanish II for this year.  The new schools sequencing in history is different than her old school.  She’s going into 11.  New school puts 11th in APUSH.  She did that last year.  She is being placed in European History which her new school offers in 9th but she would have taken it in 11th at her old school.  The math issue is that her old school taught Alg II and the new school teaches it as Alg II/Trig.  She doesn’t have the trig.  Old school covered it when they taught precalc.

So on her 11th grade transcript it will show she took a 9th grade history class as an 11th grade and had to repeat language and math.

For those of you that have changed schools, how have you handled this?  Is this something I need to worry about?  How will this be viewed by college admissions?  Im wondering if I should just have her repeat 10th at the new school.  I’d have to look at what the new school requires 10th graders to take.[/quote]
